Responsible gambling

Online gambling should remain entertainment, never a way to solve financial problems. This site compares payment mechanics; it does not encourage chasing losses or suggest that a payment method improves your chance of winning. Set a budget before you play and treat deposits as money you can afford to lose.

Use practical limits

Where an operator offers them, consider deposit, loss, session and spend limits. A cooling-off period or self-exclusion can help when you need distance. Do not borrow to gamble, use essential household money, or increase stakes to recover a loss. Payment limits and casino limits are not a substitute for a personal plan.

Recognise warning signs

Taking longer sessions than intended, hiding gambling, feeling distressed after losses, chasing money, or neglecting responsibilities can indicate that support is needed. Pause access and speak with someone you trust. Do not share passwords or ask another person to gamble for you.

Age and safety
