Playing within limits is part of the game
Betting involves financial risk and must not be treated as a source of income. This guide helps you stay in control, recognize warning signs and know when to stop.

Define money, time and purpose
Decide in advance how much you can lose without affecting housing, food, health, education, debt payments or savings. That amount is a limit, not a spending target.
Set a maximum duration as well. Do not increase the budget or extend a session to recover losses.
- Use only money set aside for entertainment.
- Do not borrow or use credit to gamble.
- Do not play while affected by alcohol, drugs or intense emotion.
Recognize when gambling is taking control
Pay attention if you hide the time or money spent, chase losses, miss responsibilities, increase stakes to achieve the same feeling or find it difficult to stop.
Conflict with family, using essential funds, debt and gambling-related anxiety are signs to stop the activity and seek support.
Use limits, time-outs and self-exclusion
Activate available deposit, loss, stake and time limits. Review your actual account history regularly instead of relying on memory.
If limits are not enough, request a time-out or self-exclusion through official support. Do not open another account or move to another platform to bypass a restriction you set.
Minors and vulnerable people must not have access
Services are only for people aged 18 or over, or the higher legal age that applies locally. Never share an account, secure login details and sign out on shared devices.
Responsible adults should protect payment methods, use parental controls and explain that real-money gaming is not an activity for minors.
Four decisions that protect control
Write down your limits before a session and compare them with the actual result when it ends.
Budget
Set an amount you can lose without affecting any essential expense.
Time
Choose when the session ends and use an independent alarm.
Review
Check deposits, losses and duration without trying to win them back.
Pause
Stop if you break a limit, hide the activity or feel pressure to continue.
Stop and talk to someone as soon as possible
Ask support for available limits or self-exclusion and contact a professional problem-gambling support service in your country. If there is an immediate risk of harm to you or someone else, call local emergency services.
Asking for a break is a responsible decision
Contact the regional channel for guidance to official support and the tools available for your account.
