Responsible Gambling
Gambling should be entertainment, not a way to make money. This page gives practical steps to keep play under control and shows where to find help.
Before you play
- You must be 18 or older.
- Decide a budget you can afford to lose and keep to it.
- Set a time limit for each session.
- Do not gamble when upset, tired or after drinking.
Warning signs
- Spending more than planned or chasing losses.
- Borrowing money to gamble.
- Hiding play from family or friends.
- Feeling anxious or irritable when you stop.
Tools to stay in control
Ask the casino about deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion through its support team, available by 24/7 live chat or email. Use them early rather than late.
