Responsible Gambling
Gambling should be entertaining, never a way to make money or solve financial problems. If it stops feeling that way, support is available.
Deposit Limits
Cap how much you can add to your account over a day, week or month.
Loss & Wager Limits
Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose or stake in a given period.
Reality Checks

Time-Outs
Temporarily block your account for a short, defined period.
Self-Exclusion
A longer-term block, typically a minimum of six months, preventing account access.
GAMSTOP

A Few Ground Rules
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
- Set a budget and a time limit before you start, and stick to both.
- Don't chase losses — treat any loss as the cost of entertainment, not a debt to recover.
- Avoid gambling when upset, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol.
- Balance gambling with other activities, and take regular breaks.
