Responsible gambling

Gambling, over time, is an expense. The house edge sustains the whole operation through simple maths, not through any kind of warning, and no bonus, filter or strategy can shift it. Everything below follows from that.

Decide before you start

Work out beforehand, ahead of your first deposit, how much you are willing to lose, not during a losing streak. Limits set in a calm state of mind tend to stick, but ones set mid-chase do not. Think of your spending as the cost of entertainment, not as an investment expected to pay off.

The tools in your account

• Deposit limit — the most you may deposit within a day, a week or a month.
• Loss limit — restricts net losses to a ceiling over a given period.
• Session reminder — tells you how much time has passed while playing.
• Time-out — suspends account access for however long you decide.
• Self-exclusion — an extended-term block on the account.

A lowered limit applies right away. Raising one takes longer by design, so that a limit cannot be removed at the exact moment it matters most.

Warning signs

Three habits deserve attention as soon as they appear: spending cash that was meant for other bills, chasing a comeback after a loss, and telling people less than the truth about the hours or pounds you have put in. Any one in isolation means relatively little. The three points mean something when combined.

Where to get help

None of them are connected to us in any way.

• BeGambleAware — free and confidential support on 0808 8020 133, available 24/7.
• GamCare — offers free support and treatment through the same national helpline.
• Gamban — an app that blocks gambling websites on all your devices.

Under-age gambling

Accounts are for adults aged 18+ and over. On a shared device, install parental control software and keep your login details somewhere safe. Minor-opened accounts are shut, and whatever winnings resulted are voided.
