Responsible Gambling

This content is intended for adults aged 18 and over.

Gambling can be addictive. If betting or casino play stops feeling like entertainment and starts affecting your finances, relationships, or wellbeing, free and confidential help is available — see the resources below.

Keeping Betting and Casino Play Under Control

Whether you're betting on sports or playing casino games, a few habits make it easier to stay in control:

Decide on a budget before you start, and treat it as an entertainment cost, not an investment.
Set a time limit for each session, separate from your spending limit.
Never chase losses by increasing your stake to "win back" money.
Avoid betting or playing while under the influence of alcohol or when emotionally upset.
Take regular breaks — most licensed operators let you set session reminders.

Tools Offered by Licensed Operators

Reputable, licensed sportsbooks and casinos are required to offer self-management tools, typically including:

Deposit limits — daily, weekly, or monthly caps on how much you can add to your account.
Loss limits — a cap on how much you can lose within a set period.
Time-out / cooling-off periods — temporarily pausing your account for a defined period.
Self-exclusion — permanently or long-term closing your account with an operator.

These tools are usually found in the account settings of each operator. If you can't find them, this is itself a red flag worth taking seriously.

Warning Signs

Consider stepping back — and reaching out for support — if you notice:

Betting or playing more than you planned, more often than you intended.
Borrowing money, or using funds meant for essentials, to gamble.
Lying to people close to you about how much time or money you spend.
Feeling anxious, irritable, or unable to stop thinking about betting when you're not doing it.
