Responsible Gambling Guidelines
Gambling should always be a fun and safe form of entertainment. Please remember that it is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to gamble.
Below are some important tips to help you stay in control and gamble responsibly:
✅ Stick to What You Can Afford to Lose
Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never use funds intended for essentials like rent, bills, or food.
❌ Don’t Chase Losses
Trying to win back money by betting more often leads to even greater losses. Accept losses as part of the experience and move on.
📉 Avoid Increasing Your Stakes
Set a staking plan and stick to it. Avoid the temptation to keep increasing your bets, as this can quickly spiral out of control.
⏸️ Take Regular Breaks
If gambling stops being enjoyable, take a step back. A break can help you reset and gain perspective.
💷 Set a Spending Limit
Decide how much you are prepared to lose before you start playing. Once you reach that limit, stop.
⏰ Set a Time Limit
Limit how much time you spend gambling. Stick to your plan and log off once your time is up.
❤️ Prioritise Friends and Family
Don’t let gambling interfere with your relationships or replace social time with friends and family.
🎯 Gamble for Entertainment, Not Income
Treat gambling as a leisure activity – not a way to earn money. Remember, the odds are always in favour of the house.
🧠 Gamble With a Clear Mind
Avoid gambling when you’re feeling angry, anxious, upset, or depressed. It’s harder to make rational decisions in these states.
🚫 Stay Sober While Gambling
Never gamble under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Impaired judgment can lead to decisions you later regret.
