Recognising the Signs of Problem Gambling

Gambling should always be a fun and controlled activity. However, if you notice any of the following signs, it may indicate a gambling problem:

  • Gambling to recover losses or to make money.
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling.
  • Spending more time or money gambling than intended.
  • Neglecting work, family, or social commitments due to gambling.
  • Feeling restless or irritable when unable to gamble.
  • Using money for essentials, such as rent or bills, to gamble.
  • Constantly thinking about gambling or planning the next bet.

If you recognise any of these behaviours in yourself or someone you care about, we encourage you to take action promptly and seek support.

Tips for Responsible Gambling

To help you enjoy gambling safely, please consider the following advice:

  • Decide on a loss limit before you start and never exceed it.
  • Treat gambling as a form of entertainment, not a way to make money.
  • Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.
  • Set time limits and take regular breaks from playing.
  • Do not gamble when feeling stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
  • Maintain a balanced lifestyle with other hobbies and social activities.
  • Use the responsible gaming tools available on our site to help you stay in control.

  • Permanent Self-Exclusion or Account Closure: If you want to close your account permanently, please contact our Customer Support team at [email protected] or via Live Chat. We will assist you with the process promptly.
  • Withdrawals: Before closing your account, please request withdrawal of any remaining funds to ensure you receive your balance.

  • Gambling is strictly prohibited for anyone under 18 years of age.

  • We recommend parents and guardians use parental control software such as Net Nanny or Qustodio to restrict access to gambling websites.
