Play responsibly

Gambling is entertainment that costs money. It is not a way to earn money or solve money problems. You must be of legal gambling age in your country to play.

Set limits before you start

• Deposit limit. Decide how much you can afford to lose in a day, week or month, and set it in your casino account.
• Time limit. Set a session reminder or a daily time limit.
• Loss limit. Stop when you reach it, even if you are close to finishing a bonus.

Most online casinos let you set these in your account settings, often under “Responsible gaming”. If you cannot find them, ask customer support.

Warning signs

• You spend more money or time than you planned.
• You play to win back losses.
• You borrow money or use money meant for bills.
• You hide your gambling from people close to you.
• Gambling makes you anxious, irritable or low.

If any of these sound familiar, take a break and talk to someone.

Take a break or self-exclude

You can pause your account for a set period, or close it completely. Many countries also run national self-exclusion schemes that cover all licensed operators. Check what is available where you live.
