Responsible gambling
Gambling should be entertainment, not a way to make money. If it stops being fun, help is available - free and confidential.
Warning signs
- Chasing losses or gambling more to "win back" money.
- Borrowing money to gamble.
- Hiding gambling activity from friends or family.
- Feeling anxious or restless when not gambling.
Tools that help
- Deposit limits. Set daily, weekly, or monthly caps. All UKGC and MGA operators must offer these.
- Self-exclusion. Block yourself for a period of your choosing.
- Reality checks. On-screen reminders of time spent playing.
- Gamstop (UK), OASIS (Germany), GAMSTOP-like registers (multiple countries).
