Set boundaries first
Decide how much money and time you can afford to spend. Keep essential expenses separate, never borrow to gamble and never chase losses.
18+ / PLAY RESPONSIBLY
Keep play in perspective.
Gambling is paid entertainment, never a reliable way to earn money. Choosing not to play is always an option.
Use account controls
Ask casino support about deposit and time limits, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion. If you need to stop, request exclusion and consider blocking gambling sites and payment access.
Recognise when to pause
Hiding gambling, spending more than planned, borrowing or feeling distressed are reasons to stop and seek support. Tell someone you trust.
