Make space for a stopping point
- Set spending and time limits before opening a game.
- Keep essential money separate and never borrow to gamble.
- Take regular breaks; avoid gambling when distressed or under the influence.
- Do not increase stakes to chase a loss.
Use the account tools available to you
Ask casino support about deposit limits, session reminders, time-outs and self-exclusion. Confirm how each tool works, when it takes effect and which accounts or services it covers.
Notice when play is becoming a problem
Spending more than planned, hiding gambling, borrowing for it or finding it difficult to stop are reasons to pause and seek support. You do not need to wait for a financial crisis to speak with someone.
Find support where you are
Gambling Therapy provides a starting point for international gambling support and resources. You can also contact a local gambling-support service or a trusted person. If you are in immediate danger, contact your local emergency service.
Keep gambling away from children
Keep account credentials private, use device access controls and avoid leaving a gambling session open on a shared device.
