Responsible gambling

Adults only, 18 and over

This site is intended for people aged 18 or over, or the legal minimum age in your country if it is higher. If you are underage, do not gamble.

If children or teenagers use your computer or phone, use parental control tools to block gambling sites.

Tips for responsible play

• Before you start, decide how much money and how much time you will spend, and stick to it.
• Never try to win back losses by increasing your bets.
• Do not gamble with money set aside for bills, food, rent or debts, and never borrow money to gamble.
• Avoid gambling when you are sad, anxious, tired or under the influence of alcohol.
• Take breaks and use the platforms' tools: deposit limits, time reminders and self exclusion.

Warning signs

Spending more than planned, hiding how much you gamble, lying to family or friends, feeling irritable when you try to stop, thinking about gambling all the time or gambling to escape problems are signs that it is time to get help.
