Responsible gambling

For adults aged 18 or over. Treat gambling as a paid pastime, not as income and not as a way to recoup a loss.

Habits that help

• Set a budget first and assume it will be spent.
• Prefer platforms that let you cap deposits, losses and session time, and that honour self-exclusion.
• Do not borrow to play, and do not continue after a loss in order to get even.
• Step away from fast games; a long session can pass unnoticed.

When to stop

If spending exceeds the plan, if gambling is hidden from people close to you, or if stopping feels uncomfortable, pause and consider talking to a specialist service.
