Why this matters

Every bet carries risk, and the odds are built to favour the house over time. For most people, gambling is a harmless pastime. For some, it can quietly grow into something that affects money, relationships, work and mental health. We'd rather talk about that openly than pretend it doesn't happen. Treat any money you play with as the cost of entertainment, in the same way you'd budget for a night out, and never gamble with money you need for rent, bills, food or debts. If you ever feel the balance slipping, it's okay to pause, and it's always okay to ask for help.

Warning signs of problem gambling

Problem gambling often builds slowly, so it helps to know what to look for. You may be spending more time or money than you planned, or finding it hard to stop once you've started. You might chase losses, convinced the next bet will win it all back. You may feel restless, anxious or irritable when you try to cut down. Perhaps you're borrowing money, hiding your play from family or friends, or neglecting work and responsibilities. You might also be gambling to escape low mood, stress or loneliness. If even one of these sounds familiar, take it seriously and consider using the tools below or speaking to someone you trust.

Tools to keep you in control

Your account includes features designed to help you stay within your own boundaries. Deposit limits let you cap how much you add daily, weekly or monthly, and you can lower a limit at any time. Time-outs give you a short break from play, whether that's a day, a week or longer, so you can step back and reset. Self-exclusion is a longer-term option for when you want a firm stop, and it keeps your account closed for the period you choose. Session reminders can also help you keep track of how long you've been playing. Contact our support team if you'd like help setting any of these up.

Healthy habits for safer play

Small habits make a big difference. Decide on a budget before you start and stick to it, and treat it as spent the moment you deposit. Set a time limit and take regular breaks. Avoid playing when you're tired, upset or under the influence of alcohol. Keep gambling separate from your essential finances, and never try to win back losses. Balance play with other things you enjoy, like sport, friends and hobbies. If you notice that gambling is becoming your main source of excitement or relief, that's a good moment to reach out for support or take a break.
