Responsible Gambling

Key risk signs to watch for

Responsible gambling starts with recognizing when play is no longer under control. Common warning signs include:

Spending more time or money than planned
Chasing losses or trying to “break even”
Gambling to cope with stress, loneliness, or anxiety
Hiding gambling activity from others
Borrowing money, missing bills, or financial pressure
Irritability when unable to gamble

If any of these apply, pause play and use limit tools where available in account settings.

Practical steps a user can take

Set limits where available in account settings

Where available, users can set deposit limits, wagering limits, loss limits, or session reminders. If a limit option is not shown, it may not be enabled for the account.

Use cooling-off where available in account settings

Cooling-off is a time-based break that restricts access for a set period. It is intended for short-term control when impulses increase.

Use self-exclusion where available in account settings

Self-exclusion is a longer restriction intended for users who need a more durable stop. Reversal rules and durations are not publicly specified — check the official Terms/Account area.

Separate gambling funds from essential money

Use a strict entertainment budget and keep it separate from rent, food, education, debt repayments, and savings.

Session reminder	Prompts you after time intervals	You lose track of time	Use a phone timer and take breaks away from screens
Cooling-off	Temporarily blocks access	Urges feel intense	Hand devices to a trusted person and leave home briefly
Self-exclusion	Longer access restriction	Gambling is causing harm	Seek professional support and ask a friend to help with finances

For friends and family

If you are concerned about someone’s gambling, a calm, practical approach usually works best:

Choose a neutral moment: avoid starting the conversation right after a win or loss.
Describe impact, not character: focus on specific behaviors and consequences you have observed.
Offer concrete help: suggest setting limits together, taking a break, or reviewing spending.
Avoid bargaining about outcomes: keep the goal on safety and stability, not on “winning back” money.
Protect shared finances: consider separate accounts, spending alerts, and bill-first budgeting.
Encourage local support: Local support resources — check official healthcare/support directories in your region.

If there is immediate risk of harm, contact local emergency services in your area.
