Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

We're committed to promoting responsible gambling practices. Gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses.

Age Verification

All gambling sites must verify that players are at least 18 years of age or above the legal gambling age in their jurisdiction. If you are under 18, please do not gamble. Gambling is not suitable for minors and can cause serious harm to young people.

Parents and guardians: If you're concerned about a young person's gambling, contact GamCare for advice and support.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you experience any of the following, you may have a gambling problem. Please seek help:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding or lying about the extent of your gambling
• Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, bills, food)
• Gambling for longer periods than intended
• Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Experiencing anxiety, guilt, or depression related to gambling
• Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
• Using gambling as an escape from problems or negative emotions
• Experiencing relationship conflicts because of gambling

Self-Help Tools

Most reputable gambling operators offer tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose over a period
• Reality Checks: Receive reminders during gambling sessions about how long you've been playing
• Session Limits: Automatically log out after a set period of time
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling sites for a period you choose
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if needed

These tools are designed to help you gamble responsibly. Use them proactively to maintain control over your gambling.
