Responsible gambling

Betting is entertainment, not income. 18+ only. Bet only what you can afford to lose.

Betting is a way to have fun, not a way to earn. It is for adults aged 18 and over. No app, bonus or system takes away the chance of losing — a welcome bonus only adds to how much you must wager; it does not improve your odds. The moment betting stops being fun, take a break.

Stay in control

Set a deposit limit and read it as a ceiling to stay under, not a goal to reach.
Set a time limit and step away for regular breaks.
Do not chase losses. Betting more to win back money rarely ends well.
Keep money for rent, food and family out of your betting account.
Use the deposit-limit, time-out and self-exclusion tools in your account settings.

Warning signs

It may be time to ask for help if youbet more than you can afford, borrow to fund it, hide it from your family, feel anxious about it, or cannot stop once you have decided to. Any of these is a good reason to step back and talk to someone.
