Responsible Gambling
Play Safe — Always
Gambling should be entertainment, never a way to make money or escape problems. Use this page to recognise warning signs and find real, confidential help.
Our Core Principles
- Only ever gamble with money you can afford to lose entirely.
- Set a deposit limit before you sign up — not after a losing session.
- Treat any winnings as a bonus, not as expected income.
- Never chase losses by depositing more or raising stakes.
- Take regular breaks, and never gamble when tired, drunk or upset.
Warning Signs to Watch For
Problem gambling rarely arrives overnight. Look out for the following patterns — in yourself or someone close to you:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than originally planned.
- Borrowing money, selling possessions or missing bills to fund play.
- Hiding gambling activity from family, partners or friends.
- Feeling restless, anxious or irritable when not gambling.
- Returning the next day to win back losses ("chasing").
- Lying to therapists, family or employers about the extent of gambling.
Tools You Can Use Today
Every reputable casino offers built-in player-protection tools. Use them proactively, not as a last resort:
- Deposit limits — daily, weekly or monthly caps that cannot be raised instantly.
- Loss & wager limits — automatic stop once you hit your threshold.
- Session reminders — pop-ups every 30 or 60 minutes showing time and net result.
- Cool-off periods — temporary blocks from 24 hours up to 6 weeks.
- Self-exclusion — full account closure for 6 months, 1 year or permanently.

Protecting Under-18s
Gambling is strictly for adults. If under-18s share your device, install parental control software such as Net Nanny or use built-in screen-time tools to block gambling sites. Never leave gambling accounts logged in on shared computers or phones.
