Responsible gambling
Online casino play is for adults aged 18 and over. Treat any deposit as money spent on entertainment, not as a way to earn, and decide your limit before you open a casino site, not after a loss.

Limits worth setting first
- A deposit limit per week or month, set inside the casino account before the first deposit.
- A session time you stop at, whatever the balance shows.
- A rule never to deposit again to chase a loss.
- Blocking software on your phone and computer if you want a break from all gambling sites.
Warning signs include borrowing to gamble, hiding play from family, and feeling you have to win money back. Any one of them is a good reason to call 0800 654 655: the call is free and confidential.
