Know the risks
Gambling involves risk and most players lose money over time. Only play with money you can afford to lose, and never borrow to gamble. Crypto can make it easier to deposit quickly and harder to notice how much you have spent, so set your own limits before you start. You must be 18 or over, or the legal age where you live if that is higher.
Simple ways to stay in control
- Set a deposit limit and a time limit before you play, and stick to them.
- Don't chase losses. If you lose your limit, stop for the day.
- Take regular breaks, and don't gamble when you are tired, stressed or drinking.
- Keep gambling money separate from money for rent, bills and food.
- Use the operator's tools: deposit limits, reality checks, time-outs and self-exclusion.
Warning signs
- Spending more money or time than you planned.
- Thinking about gambling most of the time, or hiding it from people close to you.
- Gambling to escape problems, or to win back what you lost.
- Feeling anxious, irritable or low when you are not gambling.
