Responsible Gambling

Gambling Should Be Fun

Betting and gambling are forms of entertainment — not a reliable way to make money. The odds are designed to favour the bookmaker over time. It's important to set limits, only bet what you can afford to lose, and never chase losses.

Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek support:

• 1Betting with money you cannot afford to lose
• 2Chasing losses — betting more to recover previous losses
• 3Hiding or lying to family and friends about your betting
• 4Neglecting work, family, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
• 5Feeling anxious, depressed, or irritable when not betting
• 6Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund betting
• 7Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
• 8Gambling to escape problems or negative feelings

Tools to Stay in Control

Most licensed UK bookmakers offer the following responsible gambling tools:

• Deposit limits — set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits
• Loss limits — cap how much you can lose in a given period
• Session time limits — restrict how long you can bet in one session
• Reality checks — reminders that pop up during a session
• Self-exclusion — temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from a site
• GamStop — self-exclude from all UK-licensed online gambling sites at once
