Safer gambling

The right moment to stop is before harm grows.

Gambling should never be treated as income or a way to recover a loss. If play is affecting money, sleep, work or relationships, stop and seek support now.

Set boundaries before opening a casino

Decide a time and spending limit in advance, use only money you can afford to lose, and do not borrow to gamble. Avoid playing when upset, under pressure or affected by alcohol or drugs.

  • Treat every stake as money that may be lost.
  • Never chase losses or raise a limit to recover a result.
  • Use deposit, loss, session and time-out tools offered by the casino.
  • Leave immediately if gambling stops feeling voluntary.

Get confidential support

Support is available even if you are worried about someone else's gambling. Choose a service for your country; if you feel in immediate danger, contact local emergency services.
