Responsible play

Limits, cool-off periods and self-exclusion explained — the tools that keep betting inside a budget.

Set the frame before you bet

• Decide a budget you can afford to lose and never exceed it.
• Use deposit limits, session reminders and cool-off periods.
• Never bet to recover losses or to solve financial problems.
• Treat betting as entertainment, never as income.

Signs worth taking seriously

If betting takes more time or money than planned, if you hide it from people close to you, or if you feel restless without it, those are signals to stop and seek support. Self-exclusion exists for exactly this situation.

Where to get help

Support services for problem gambling operate in many countries and offer free, confidential help to players and families. If you are unsure whether your play is under control, talk to a professional.
