Casino play involves risking money and is restricted to adults aged 18 or over. Responsible gambling starts with recognising that a stake can be lost and that entertainment spending must remain affordable.
Time and Money Boundaries for Casino Play
Work out what remains available after housing, food, repayments and other necessities. Only consider gambling with money whose loss would leave those commitments covered. A promotion cannot make an otherwise unaffordable payment suitable.
Choose when to stop before opening a game. Give time to sleep, work, relationships and interests away from screens, and take breaks rather than allowing short rounds to extend play unnoticed.
Never borrow for gambling. Trying to recover losses through larger stakes or repeated deposits can deepen financial problems, and previous results do not promise repayment in another round.
Deposit and session limits can support personal boundaries. In-account self-exclusion is also available, with support able to assist you with account-control questions. Use assistance when managing access becomes difficult.
Recognising Difficulties and Seeking Assistance
Pay attention to changes in how gambling affects you. Hiding payments, becoming preoccupied with losses or struggling to stop at the intended time can indicate a problem, even before a large debt develops.
Pause gambling when these concerns arise. Speak with someone you trust about what has changed, including effects on money, mood or family life. An honest conversation can help you decide what assistance to seek.
GamCare and BeGambleAware provide independent gambling support. You can seek advice for yourself or about someone close to you, without needing to continue playing while deciding what to do.
Tell our team when your request concerns gambling harm or restricting account access. An unresolved offer, game feature or tournament position should never take priority over stopping when you need to.
