Responsible Gambling

If gambling is affecting your finances, your relationships, or your mental health, please reach out. Local helplines are confidential and free.

Common warning signs include:

• Spending more than you planned, more often than you planned.
• Chasing losses with larger bets to "win it back".
• Lying to family or partners about how much you bet.
• Borrowing money — formally or informally — to fund bets.
• Feeling restless or irritable when you try to cut back.
• Gambling to escape stress or low mood, rather than for entertainment.

Two or more of these patterns over a sustained period is a meaningful signal. The earlier you address it, the easier it is.

Licensed operators in your country are required to offer self-exclusion — a binding commitment to block your account for a set period (commonly one month, six months, or a year). Activating self-exclusion is your call; once active, the operator cannot waive it before the term ends.

All licensed operators provide tools to set daily, weekly and monthly deposit limits, session time limits, and reality-check notifications. Setting these before you start a betting session is far more effective than trying to apply them when you are already engaged.

Beyond the helpline, support groups (in person and online), individual counselling, and family-focused services exist in every market we cover. If you would like a confidential introduction to a local support service, write to [email protected] and we will respond within one business day.
