Keep gambling within limits you can afford.

Gambling is not a reliable source of income. Outcomes are uncertain and losses are possible. If gambling stops feeling like entertainment, taking action early can reduce harm.

Practical limits

• Decide a spending limit before you start and do not increase it to recover losses.
• Do not gamble with money needed for rent, food, debt payments or other essentials.
• Take regular breaks and avoid gambling when distressed, intoxicated or under financial pressure.
• Use deposit limits, time-outs and account controls offered by licensed operators.
• If you need a stronger barrier, consider self-exclusion.
