Set the limit before the session
- 01
Choose an entertainment budget
Use money left after housing, food, bills, savings and other essential commitments.
- 02
Choose an end time
Set an alarm and stop when it rings, even if a game or promotion is still active.
- 03
Define the stop point
Decide the maximum loss and do not add another deposit to recover it.
- 04
Keep records
Review deposits and withdrawals as a complete total instead of remembering only winning sessions.
Warning signs that deserve action
- Chasing a loss with larger or faster bets
- Borrowing, delaying bills or using essential money to play
- Hiding account activity from people you trust
- Playing through the night or missing work and responsibilities
- Feeling irritable, anxious or unable to stop after the planned limit
- Creating another account to avoid a restriction or self-exclusion
What to do when play no longer feels controlled
Pause access
Log out, remove saved payment routes and ask support about available cooling-off or account restriction options.
Tell someone
Share the situation with a trusted person who can help you protect money and create distance from play.
Use professional support
Contact an appropriate local counselling, mental-health or addiction-support service when gambling is causing harm.
