What to decide before you start, the signs that it is time to stop, and the self-control tools available
Betting games should stay entertainment you control. They are not a way to earn and not a way out of a money problem. This page covers what to decide before you start and the signs that it is time to stop.
Before you start
Four things to decide in advance
Decide an amount
A figure you would be equally willing to spend on any other evening out, and no more.
Decide a time
Set an actual clock time to stop. "One more round" is a decision made by the wrong part of the evening.
Keep it separate
Never use money set aside for rent, bills, food or repayments — not even briefly.
Do not chase
Adding money to recover a loss is the single most reliable way to turn a small one into a large one.
Signs to stop
If any of these describes you, stop first and reconsider afterwards.
- Going past the time or the amount you set, more than once
- Hiding how much time or money you have spent from people close to you
- Borrowing money or selling something in order to keep playing
- Feeling irritable or restless when you are not playing
- Thinking about losses through the rest of the day
- Playing to get away from stress or boredom rather than because it is enjoyable
Tools worth using
Most platforms carry self-control tools in the account settings. Set them while you are thinking clearly, not while you are losing.
- A deposit limit per day or per week
- A session time limit
- A temporary account break
- Permanent self-exclusion
These live on the platform, not on this site. This site has no access to your account and cannot set or lift any of them for you.
Age
The service is for people aged 18 and over. If a minor shares your device, set a device passcode and consider content-filtering software.
Getting help
If it stops feeling like a choice, talk to someone you trust first, then contact a mental-health or financial counselling service where you live. This site does not provide counselling, and it will not name an organisation as a partner when no such arrangement has been confirmed.
