Casino games are entertainment, not a way to earn dependable income. Decide what you can afford to spend before you play, and be prepared to stop when that amount is gone.
Set boundaries before a session
Only adults aged 18 or over, or the higher age required where applicable, should play. Keep gambling money separate from rent, bills, savings and other essentials. Choose a spending limit and a time limit before opening a game, and stick to them whether you win or lose.
Choose stakes that fit the budget you have set. A bonus does not change the amount you can afford to lose, and its wagering conditions can extend the time you spend playing. Read those conditions before accepting an offer.
Use the controls available
Check the casino's account settings for deposit limits, loss limits, reminders and options to take a break. Choose controls that suit your circumstances before depositing, and learn how they work. Do not assume that a limit at one operator automatically applies to another account.
Take a break if play stops being enjoyable or starts to feel difficult to control. Avoid chasing losses, borrowing to gamble or trying to recover money by increasing your stakes. Past outcomes do not make a future win certain.
When you need support
If gambling is affecting your finances, relationships, work or wellbeing, consider speaking with someone you trust and seeking qualified support available in your area. You can also contact the casino to ask about its account restriction and break options.
You do not have to wait for a crisis to pause. Closing the session, reviewing your spending and asking for help are practical steps whenever gambling no longer feels manageable.
