Responsible Gambling
Gambling is entertainment that carries risk. Knowing the warning signs and using control tools makes the difference.
Basic principles
- 18+. Access is restricted to adults.
- Play for entertainment only. Never as a way to make money.
- Do not chase losses. Trying to win back losses usually increases the harm.
- Set limits. On money and on time, before you start.
- Never use money needed for essential expenses. Rent, food, health or debts stay off limits.
- Gambling should not be treated as a source of income.
Warning signs
It is worth pausing and reviewing the situation if any of these behaviours appear:
- Repeatedly playing longer or spending more than planned.
- Hiding gambling activity from people close to you.
- Borrowing money or delaying payments in order to keep playing.
- Irritability or anxiety when you cannot play.
- Neglecting work, study or family responsibilities.
- Using gambling to escape stress, sadness or boredom.
Available tools
Regulated platforms usually offer control mechanisms that are worth enabling from the start:
- Deposit limits per day, week or month.
- Time limits per session, with activity reminders.
- Temporary breaks that block access for a set period.
- Self-exclusion, which prevents access for longer periods.
- Activity history so you can review real deposits and bets.
The exact availability of each tool depends on the operator and the jurisdiction.
Protecting minors
Online gambling is prohibited for anyone under 18. If you share devices with minors, use passwords, log out and consider parental control software. Never leave login credentials stored on shared equipment.
Where to find help
If gambling has stopped being entertainment, talking to someone is the first step. You can turn to a mental health professional, to the responsible gambling programmes run by the regulator in your jurisdiction, or to specialised support groups in your area. You can also request self-exclusion directly on the platform you use.
