Responsible play

Play only what you can afford to lose

Every round is a game of chance, and most players in a round lose their deposit. Treat what you put in as the cost of entertainment, never as a way to make money or win back losses. You must be 18 or over to play.

Set your limits

• Decide on a budget before you start, and stop when it is gone.
• Decide how long you will play, and take regular breaks.
• Use a separate wallet that only holds what you are happy to spend.
• Don't play when you are upset, tired or have been drinking.
• Never borrow, or use money meant for bills or essentials, to play.

Signs it may be a problem

• Spending more than you planned, or chasing losses to win them back.
• Thinking about playing when you are doing other things.
• Hiding how much you play from people close to you.
• Feeling anxious, irritable or low when you aren't playing.
• Gambling affecting your work, studies, relationships or finances.

If any of these sound familiar, it is a good time to pause and talk to someone.

Where to find help

Free, confidential support is available. A few places to start:

• BeGambleAware — advice, self-assessment and support services.
• Gamblers Anonymous — meetings and peer support around the world.
• GamCare — information, chat and a free helpline.

Many countries also have national helplines; your local health service can point you to one.

Taking a break

The site doesn't hold your funds, so the simplest break is to stop connecting your wallet. The services above can also help you take a break.
