Before you play
- Decide a loss limit and a time limit before opening a gaming website.
- Use only money left after essential costs, savings and debt commitments.
- Understand the promotion terms, wagering rules and withdrawal conditions.
- Avoid gambling when upset, intoxicated, exhausted or under financial pressure.
Warning signs
Take a break when you hide your activity, borrow to continue, miss responsibilities, increase stakes to feel the same excitement, or keep playing to recover a loss. Repeatedly thinking about gambling or feeling anxious when stopping are also reasons to seek support.
Chasing losses can turn one bad session into a larger problem. A loss is a signal to stop, not a target to win back.
Practical controls
- Use deposit, spend and session limits offered by the gaming operator.
- Turn off promotional notifications and remove saved payment methods.
- Use cooling-off, timeout or self-exclusion tools when a normal break is not enough.
- Tell a trusted person what is happening and ask them to help protect money needed for essentials.
Get human support
Contact a locally recognised gambling-support service, healthcare professional or financial counsellor. In an immediate crisis or danger, contact your local emergency service. The final production site should list the licensed support and self-exclusion resources required for every jurisdiction it targets.
For family and friends
Focus on safety and practical support rather than blame. Do not lend money for gambling. Encourage the person to speak with a qualified service and protect shared finances where appropriate.
