Responsible Gambling
Gambling should be treated as a form of entertainment, not as a way to make money. While many people enjoy online gambling responsibly, it is important to understand the risks involved and to play in a way that remains controlled and enjoyable.
This page provides general information about responsible gambling, practical tips for maintaining control, and resources available to players who may need support.
What Is Responsible Gambling?
Responsible gambling means staying in control of the time and money you spend on gambling activities. It involves making informed decisions, setting personal limits, and recognising when gambling is no longer a positive experience.
Gambling should never interfere with personal relationships, financial stability, or mental well-being.
Practical Tips for Responsible Play
- Set clear limits on how much money you are willing to spend.
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
- Take regular breaks and avoid long gambling sessions.
- Do not chase losses or try to recover money by gambling more.
- Avoid gambling when feeling stressed, upset, or under pressure.
- Balance gambling with other activities and interests.
Responsible Gambling Tools
Many licensed online casinos provide responsible gambling tools designed to help players manage their activity. These tools may include deposit limits, loss limits, session time reminders, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion options.
Availability of these tools can vary by casino and jurisdiction. Players are encouraged to review the responsible gambling options offered by each platform they use.
When to Seek Support
If gambling stops being enjoyable or begins to feel difficult to control, it may be helpful to seek support. Warning signs can include spending more money or time than intended, hiding gambling activity, or feeling anxious about gambling outcomes.
Seeking support is a positive step and does not require a crisis situation.
