Responsible Play

Responsible Gambling

Gambling should stay entertainment. If playing becomes a burden, help is available — free and anonymous.

Safe play practices

  • Set clear time and money limits before you start playing.
  • Never play under stress, or while drinking or taking medication.
  • Treat losses as the price of entertainment, not as an investment.
  • Take regular breaks.

Signs of problem gambling

  • You play longer or with higher stakes than planned.
  • You borrow money to gamble.
  • You hide your gambling behavior.
  • You try to 'win back' losses.
  • Gambling affects work, family or sleep.

Self-control tips

  • Use deposit and loss limits offered by your operator.
  • Activate self-exclusion (e.g. GAMSTOP in the UK).
  • Talk openly with trusted people.
  • Seek professional help — early.
