If you feel at immediate risk: stop playing, step away from payment access and contact a trusted person or qualified local support service.
Set limits before playing
- Choose a fixed entertainment budget and never borrow to gamble.
- Set a time limit and use alarms or platform controls.
- Do not chase losses or increase stakes to recover money.
- Avoid gambling when distressed, impaired or under pressure.
Warning signs
Consider taking a break if you hide your gambling, miss responsibilities, spend more than planned, borrow money, chase losses or feel unable to stop.
Practical next steps
- Log out and remove saved payment methods.
- Use deposit, loss, time-out or self-exclusion controls if available.
- Ask your bank about gambling-transaction blocks.
- Tell someone you trust and seek qualified support in your jurisdiction.
Protecting minors
Keep account credentials and payment methods private, use device-level parental controls and never allow anyone under 18 to access gambling services.
