Set your own limits

• Decide a budget before you play and stick to it.
• Use deposit, loss and time limits in your operator account.
• Take regular breaks and never chase losses.
• Keep gambling separate from rent, bills and essentials.

UK support and self-exclusion

• GamCare — confidential support, advice and the National Gambling Helpline (0808 8020 133).
• GAMSTOP — free national self-exclusion scheme covering all GB-licensed online operators.
• GambleAware — independent charity providing information, tools and treatment referrals.
• UK Gambling Commission — the regulator for gambling in Great Britain.

Warning signs

• Spending more time or money than you planned.
• Trying to win back losses by betting more.
• Hiding gambling activity from people close to you.
• Borrowing money to gamble.

If any of these sound familiar, please reach out to GamCare or GambleAware. Help is free, confidential and available 24/7.

Not a way to make money

Gambling is a form of entertainment with real financial risk — never a way to earn an income. Only ever play with money you can afford to lose.
