What is responsible gambling?

Responsible gambling means betting only money you can afford to lose, setting limits, and treating betting as entertainment rather than income. It also means knowing the signs of problem gambling and where to get help.

How do I set betting limits?

Most licensed betting sites let you set deposit, loss, and time limits in your account settings. You can also take a time-out or self-exclude for a set period.

Where can I get help for problem gambling?

Free and confidential help is available from BeGambleAware, GamCare, and Gambling Therapy. In the UK you can also self-exclude from licensed sites through GAMSTOP.

18+ only. Gambling can be addictive. Never bet money you cannot afford to lose. If betting stops being fun, take a break and ask for help.

What Responsible Gambling Means

Responsible gambling means you stay in control. You bet only money you can afford to lose. You set limits and keep to them. You treat betting as entertainment, not as a way to make money or pay bills.

Stay In Control: Simple Rules

Set a budget. Decide how much you can spend before you start. Stop when you reach it.
Set a time limit. Do not let betting take over your day.
Never chase losses. Trying to win back losses usually makes them bigger.
Do not bet under stress. Avoid betting when you are upset, bored, or drinking.
Keep it fun. If betting feels like pressure, take a break.

Signs Of Problem Gambling

Gambling may be a problem if you:

Bet more than you can afford to lose.
Borrow money or sell things to bet.
Hide your betting from family or friends.
Feel anxious, low, or angry about betting.
Try to win back losses again and again.
Bet to escape problems or feelings.
