Betting should be entertainment you control. These habits help keep it that way, and if it ever stops feeling like fun, free and confidential support is one click away.

Stay in control
Set a budget firstDecide what you can afford to lose before you start and stop when it is gone. Never top up to win it back.
Put a time on itPick how long you will play. Your session clock sits in the footer and we nudge you every hour.
Take regular breaksStep away between matches. Decisions made in a rush or late at night are rarely good ones.
Bet for fun, not incomeTreat stakes as the price of entertainment. Betting is not a way to make money or pay bills.
Signs it may be time for a break
- Spending more money or time than you planned
- Chasing losses or betting to win back what you lost
- Borrowing money, or using money meant for bills, to bet
- Feeling anxious, irritable or low when you are not betting
- Hiding how much you bet from friends or family
- Betting getting in the way of work, study or sleep
