Gamble Responsibly

What is Responsible Gambling?

Responsible gambling means enjoying betting as a form of entertainment while keeping it in control. It means setting limits, understanding the odds, and knowing when to stop.

Signs of Problem Gambling

You may have a gambling problem if you:

• Spend more money on gambling than you can afford to lose
• Chase losses by continuing to gamble after losing
• Borrow money or sell possessions to fund gambling
• Lie to friends or family about your gambling activities
• Feel anxious, stressed, or depressed related to gambling
• Neglect work, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling
• Feel unable to stop or cut back on gambling

Tips for Safe Gambling

• Set a budget — Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never use money needed for bills, rent, or food.
• Set time limits — Decide in advance how much time you'll spend gambling and stick to it.
• Don't chase losses — If you lose, accept it and don't try to win it back immediately.
• Take regular breaks — Step away from gambling regularly to maintain perspective.
• Never gamble under the influence — Alcohol and drugs impair your judgement.
• Use tools provided by bookmakers — Deposit limits, self-exclusion, and reality checks are there to help.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a break from gambling, you can self-exclude from betting sites. Most regulated bookmakers offer self-exclusion options that can last from 6 months to 5 years or permanently.
