Money limit
Choose an amount you can lose without affecting bills, savings or essentials.
Keep gambling entertainment, not pressure
Set your limits before the session starts, take regular breaks and stop when play no longer feels controlled or affordable.
18+adults only
Gambling is not a way to make money or recover losses.
Three limits to set before you play
Decide these numbers while you are calm. Do not raise them during the session.
Time limit
Set a fixed end time and use an alarm. A session should never run indefinitely.
Stop point
Stop after the planned spend, when frustrated or when you feel an urge to chase.
Warning signs worth acting on
One sign is enough to pause and review your play.
- Chasing losses or increasing stakes after losing.
- Borrowing, hiding spending or missing payments.
- Playing longer than planned or losing sleep.
- Feeling anxious, angry or unable to stop.
- Treating gambling as income or a solution to debt.
Take control immediately
Use the account’s responsible-gambling tools or contact official support to request limits, a break or self-exclusion.
If gambling is causing immediate financial or emotional harm, stop playing and contact a trusted person or qualified local support service.
