This page provides information and tools to help you gamble responsibly. If you ever feel that your gambling is no longer fun, we are here to support you with a range of options designed to help you manage your play.
Tools to Help You Stay in Control
We provide a suite of easy-to-use tools directly within your account. These are designed to empower you to manage your time and money effectively.
- Deposit Limits: Control your spending by setting daily, weekly, or monthly limits on the amount you can deposit into your account.
- Loss Limits: Set a cap on the maximum amount of money you can lose over a specific period.
- Session Reminders: Activate reality checks to receive on-screen alerts that help you keep track of how long you've been playing.
- Time-Out: If you need a short break, you can take a "Time-Out" for a period of 24 hours up to six weeks. During this time, you will not be able to log in or deposit.
- Self-Exclusion: For those who need a longer break, self-exclusion allows you to close your account for a period of six months or more.
Recognising a Problem
It is important to be aware of your gambling habits. Ask yourself the following questions. If you answer 'yes' to several of them, it may be a sign that you should seek help.
- Have you ever spent more money or time gambling than you intended?
- Have you tried to stop or cut down on gambling but been unable to?
- Has gambling caused you any health problems, including stress or anxiety?
- Has your gambling caused any financial problems for you or your household?
- Have you ever felt guilty about the amount you gamble?
