Betting should be entertainment. It carries genuine financial risk, it can become addictive, and it is never a reliable way to make money. This page sets out how to keep it under control and the tools available to help.
The Basic Principles
A few simple rules keep betting where it belongs.
- Set a budget before you play, and treat it as the cost of entertainment.
- Never bet money you cannot afford to lose, and never use borrowed or household money.
- Do not chase losses. Adding funds to win back a loss is the most common way a bad session becomes a worse one.
- Take regular breaks, and keep betting separate from your real financial obligations.
- Bet only when you are in a clear frame of mind, not when upset, bored or under pressure.
The Tools Available
The platform provides responsible-gaming controls in the account settings. Setting them while you are calm is the best protection there is.
| Tool | What it does |
| Deposit limit | Caps how much you can deposit over a chosen period |
| Session time limit | Ends a session after a set stretch of play |
| Self-exclusion, temporary | Closes the account for a cooling-off period |
| Self-exclusion, permanent | Closes the account for good |
You do not need a reason to use any of these, and using them is a sensible decision rather than an admission of a problem.
Knowing the Warning Signs
It helps to recognise the signs in yourself or someone close to you.
- Spending more time or money on betting than you intended.
- Betting to win back losses, or betting larger amounts to feel the same excitement.
- Feeling anxious, low or irritable after a session rather than entertained.
- Hiding betting from family or friends, or lying about it.
- Borrowing money, or neglecting work, study or relationships to bet.
If several of these sound familiar, it is worth pausing, using the self-exclusion and limit tools, and reaching out for support.
Protecting Those Under 18
Betting is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. Age is confirmed during registration. If you share a device with someone under 18, use device-level parental controls and keep your login credentials private so that minors cannot access an account.
Getting Help
If betting has stopped being fun, help is available. Use the self-exclusion and limit tools in the account settings straight away, and contact the platform’s support over its official channels, which can help you set restrictions or close your account.
If you feel your gambling is becoming a problem, please also consider speaking to a professional support service. Treating the issue early is far easier than waiting.
A Final Word
We are an independent site that helps users reach and use the platform, and we would rather you enjoyed it for a long time than spent more than you meant to once. Play within your means, set your limits, and stop when it stops being fun.
