Play responsibly: practical tips
- Set a budget before you play; only gamble what you can afford to lose.
- Set time limits and take regular breaks.
- Never chase losses and don’t gamble when upset, stressed, or under the influence.
- Keep gambling separate from essential expenses and savings.
- Treat it as entertainment, not income.
Warning signs of problem gambling
Consider seeking help if you notice:
- Spending more time or money than planned
- Chasing losses or borrowing to gamble
- Hiding gambling from family/friends
- Gambling affecting work, study, or relationships
- Feeling anxious, guilty, or depressed about gambling
Tools you can use (with licensed operators)
Most licensed operators offer:
- Deposit, loss, and session limits
- Reality checks and time-outs
- Product blocks (e.g., casino only)
- Self-exclusion (temporary or long-term)
Use these tools from the account/responsible-gambling section of the operator’s site.

You can also restrict access on your devices:
- Blocking software: Gamban, BetBlocker (free), Net Nanny / Qustodio (parental controls)
- App store/OS controls: enable content restrictions and screen-time limits
- Payment controls: ask your bank if it supports gambling merchant blocks
