Responsible Gambling
Gambling should be entertainment, never a way to earn income or recover losses. This page is for anyone who wants to keep it that way.
Set rules before you play
- Choose a deposit limit you can comfortably afford to lose.
- Decide a time limit and take regular breaks.
- Never chase losses or gamble when upset or intoxicated.
- Keep gambling separate from rent, bills and savings.
Warning signs
Hiding your play, borrowing to gamble, feeling irritable when you stop or spending more than planned are all reasons to pause and ask for help.
