Set limits before play
- Use only money you can afford to lose.
- Set both a spending limit and a time limit.
- Never borrow to gamble or chase a loss.
- Do not gamble while impaired or distressed.
Know when to stop
Warning signs include hiding play, increasing bets to recover losses, missing obligations, borrowing, or feeling unable to stop. If gambling is causing harm, pause play and use the self-exclusion and support resources available in your jurisdiction.
Immediate danger? If you or someone else may be at risk of self-harm, contact local emergency services or a crisis hotline now. For gambling-specific support, use a recognized national helpline in your country.
Age and location
Gambling laws and minimum ages vary. Only use licensed services where gambling is legal, and never gamble if you are under the legal age.
