Treat casino play as entertainment with a cost. Decide what you can afford to spend before a session and be ready to stop when you reach that limit.
Plan your limits
Only adults aged 18 or over, or the higher age required where applicable, should play. Keep the money for gambling separate from essentials such as housing, bills and savings. Set a spending limit and a time limit before you begin, and do not increase them to chase a loss.
Choose stakes that fit the budget. A bonus does not make losses impossible, and its conditions may require more play than you expect. Read the offer before accepting it and decline it if it does not suit your limits.
Use account controls
Look in the casino account settings for deposit limits, loss limits, reminders and break options. Check how each control works and put suitable limits in place before depositing. A limit on one casino account should not be assumed to cover another.
Take regular breaks and pay attention to how you feel. If you are no longer enjoying play, find it difficult to stop or are using money needed elsewhere, pause and review the situation. Borrowing money or raising stakes to recover losses can make the problem worse.
Find support
If gambling is affecting your finances, relationships, work or wellbeing, speak with someone you trust and consider qualified support available in your area. Contact the casino if you want to understand its account restriction and break options.
You do not need to wait until a problem becomes severe. Stopping a session, checking your spending and asking for help are sensible steps whenever play feels difficult to manage.
