Set limits before you start
- Use a separate wallet for gambling and fund it with a fixed amount each month. When it is empty, you stop.
- Decide a session length and set a timer.
- Withdraw wins instead of replaying them.
- Never chase losses with a bigger deposit.
Warning signs
- Playing longer or with more than you planned.
- Borrowing, or using money meant for bills.
- Hiding how much you play.
- Feeling restless when you are not playing.
Help that does not need an account
- Gamblers Anonymous: free meetings in many countries, online and in person.
- GamCare (UK) and Gambling Therapy, which offers free online support in several languages.
- Device-level blockers such as Gamban or BetBlocker, which block gambling sites on your phone and computer.
Many casinos also offer account closure or a cooling-off period on request through support. Ask, and get the confirmation in writing.
Gambling is for adults only: 18+, or the legal age where you live.
