Responsible Gambling
Gambling should never be treated as an investment, a source of income or a solution to financial problems. Only adults aged 18 or over should consider gambling, and only where it is lawful.
Set limits before you begin
- Set an affordable entertainment budget and a time limit.
- Never gamble with borrowed money or money needed for housing, food or bills.
- Do not chase losses or increase stakes to recover money.
- Avoid gambling when distressed, tired or affected by alcohol.
- Use breaks, account limits and self-exclusion tools when available.
Recognise warning signs
