Responsible gambling
Betting should be entertainment you can afford, never a way to make money or to solve problems. Bookmakers are for adults only (18+).
Ground rules
- Set a budget you can afford to lose, and stick to it.
- Decide in advance how much time you will spend.
- Never chase losses by betting more to win them back.
- Do not bet when you are upset, stressed, tired or have been drinking.
- Betting is not a source of income: over time the bookmaker's margin works against you (how payout works).
- Use the deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion that licensed bookmakers must offer.
Warning signs
- Spending more money or time on betting than you intended.
- Borrowing money or selling things to bet.
- Hiding your betting from family or friends.
- Feeling restless or irritable when you are not betting.
- Betting to escape problems or to win back losses.
- Neglecting work, school or the people close to you.
If you recognise these signs in yourself or someone close to you, talk to someone you trust and look for professional help. Your doctor can refer you to addiction services.
