Where to Find Help

If you are worried, talk to a doctor or a licensed counsellor. Free, confidential support is also available from organisations that work internationally. Search online for Gamblers Anonymous, GamCare, or Gambling Therapy by name. Do not rely on a number you see here—check the official site yourself. Telling one person you trust is usually the first step, and often the hardest. It can be a friend, a family member, or a professional. You do not have to figure this out alone.

Protecting Young People

Gambling on this site is for those aged 18 and over only. If you share a computer or device, use filtering software to block access to gambling sites. Many free and paid options are available, and you can set them up in minutes. Keep your account login details private. Do not let anyone under 18 use your account. If you suspect a minor has accessed the site, contact support immediately to lock the account.

Take a Break from Gambling

A cooling-off period pauses your account for days or weeks. For a longer break, self-exclusion closes your account for a fixed term of months or years. Once self-exclusion is in place, it cannot be lifted early, so choose the term carefully. To request self-exclusion, contact support in writing. They will confirm the start and end dates. During that time, you will not be able to log in, deposit, or play. The site will also remove you from marketing emails.

Check Your Own Behaviour

Ask yourself honestly: Do you chase losses by betting more to win back what you lost? Have you borrowed money or sold possessions to play? Do you hide how much time or money you spend on gambling? If the answer is yes to any of these, it is worth pausing. Are you gambling to escape stress, boredom, or sadness? Do you need to bet larger amounts to feel the same excitement? Have you missed work, sleep, or time with family because of gambling? These are common signs that the habit is becoming a problem.

The Facts About Gambling Money

Gambling is entertainment, not a way to make money. It costs money, and you should only bet what you can afford to lose. The odds always favour the operator over any long run. No system, streak, or staking plan changes that fact. Winning streaks are rare and temporary. The house edge means the platform will make money over time, not you. Treat every bet as a cost for the fun of playing, not as an investment.
