Responsible Gaming
Gambling should always be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Never bet more than you can comfortably afford to lose, and never chase losses. If gambling stops being fun or starts causing stress, anxiety, or financial harm, it is time to step back and seek help.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years old (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher) to access any gambling-related content on this website. Gambling under the legal age is illegal and can lead to serious consequences. We encourage parents and guardians to use filtering software to prevent underage access.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. You may be developing a problem if you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know:
- Chasing losses – trying to win back money you have lost by gambling more.
- Hiding your gambling activity from family or friends.
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble.
- Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities because of gambling.
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut down or stop.
- Lying about how much time or money you spend gambling.
- Gambling to escape from stress, anxiety, or depression.
- Continuing to gamble even when it causes significant problems in your life.
If several of these signs apply to you, please consider using the self-help tools below or contacting a support organisation.
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable gambling platforms offer tools to help you stay in control. You can use these tools even if you are not sure you have a problem – prevention is always better than cure.
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month.
- Loss Limits: Restrict the amount of money you can lose over a set period.
- Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders showing how long you have been playing and how much you have spent.
- Time-Outs: Take a short break from gambling, from 24 hours up to several weeks.
- Self-Exclusion: Block yourself from accessing a gambling site for a longer period (e.g., 6 months, 1 year, or permanently).
If you feel you need a break, contact the customer support team of the platform you use and ask about self-exclusion options.
