Responsible gambling

Gambling should cost what you decided it would cost and nothing more. If it has stopped being fun, or you are spending money or time you did not plan to, help is free and confidential.

  • Self-exclusion for six months or more, and national schemes such as GAMSTOP in Great Britain.

Signs to take seriously

Chasing losses, borrowing to play, hiding how much you spend, or feeling anxious when you are not playing are all reasons to stop and talk to someone. You do not need to wait until it feels serious.
