Responsible Gaming

Gambling should always be a form of entertainment — not a financial strategy. Playing in moderation helps ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Keep these principles in mind:

• See gaming as a fun activity, not a guaranteed way to earn money.
• Only play with money you can afford to lose — never use funds meant for essentials.
• Track your spending and monitor the time you spend playing.
• Don’t chase losses by increasing your bets.
• Use deposit limits and control tools offered by licensed platforms in UK.

Reflect on Your Gaming Habits

If you’re concerned about your gaming behavior, consider these questions:

1. Have you ever skipped school or work to gamble?
2. Do you gamble to fix financial problems instead of for fun?
3. Do you feel a strong urge to keep playing after losing?
4. Have you ever spent all your available funds on gambling?
5. Have you lied, borrowed, or sold something to keep gambling?
6. Has your gaming negatively impacted those close to you?
7. Do you use gambling as an escape from stress or disappointment?
8. Do you feel anxious when you can’t play?
9. Do you feel shame or guilt about your gambling?

If you answered “yes” to several of these questions, you may be facing a problematic gambling pattern.
