Betting must stay a controlled, affordable activity. 18+ only.
Only stake what you can afford to lose
Your betting bankroll should be money that has no other purpose. Never use money reserved for rent, bills, food or debt.
Use fixed unit sizes
A unit should be a small fixed percentage of your bankroll, typically 1%. Suggested stakes are expressed in units for this reason.
Never chase losses
Increasing stakes after a loss is the single most common way accounts are lost. Losing runs are statistically expected.
Set limits before you start
Deposit limits, loss limits and time limits are available at every licensed operator. Set them in advance, not in the moment.
Take breaks
Step away after long sessions, and after both losing and winning runs. Fatigue and euphoria both reduce discipline.
Warning signs
- •Betting more than planned, or more often than planned
- •Hiding betting activity from people close to you
- •Borrowing money to bet or to recover losses
- •Feeling anxious, irritable or low when not betting
- •Betting to escape stress rather than as entertainment
Getting support
If betting no longer feels under control, use the self-exclusion tools of your operator and contact a national gambling support service in your country. Support is free and confidential. Consider blocking software and asking someone you trust to hold you accountable.
