Responsible Gaming

Gambling should not take money or time needed for everyday life. If it is causing stress, debt or conflict, the next step is to stop and get support, not to find another game or bonus. You do not need to win back a loss before taking a break.

Set boundaries before playing

• Choose an entertainment budget you can afford to lose completely. Keep rent, food, bills and savings separate.
• Set a time to stop and take breaks away from the screen.
• Do not borrow money, use credit or sell essential belongings to keep gambling.
• Avoid play when intoxicated, distressed or trying to escape a problem.
• Treat any bonus deadline as optional. Missing an offer is better than breaking your spending limit.

Recognizing when it is becoming harmful

Warning signs include chasing losses, hiding spending, increasing stakes to feel the same excitement, repeatedly breaking your own limits or neglecting work and relationships. The amount lost is not the only measure of harm: persistent worry or loss of control is enough reason to seek help.

Take a break and restrict access

Contact the support team responsible for your gambling account and ask specifically about a break or self-exclusion. An ordinary account closure is not necessarily a self-exclusion arrangement. Ask when the restriction takes effect, what it covers and how remaining funds are handled, and retain the written confirmation. Do not try to bypass a restriction with another account.

While a request is being handled, stop deposits and remove easy access to gambling services. Blocking software and device restrictions can help. Tell someone you trust and consider practical controls on access to funds. Available controls differ between accounts and devices; no particular built-in limit tool is promised here.

Independent help

Gambling Therapy offers international support and information for people affected by gambling, including family members. You can also contact a local healthcare professional or gambling-support service. If you feel in immediate danger, contact emergency services where you are.
