18+ safer gambling
Only adults aged 18 and over should visit gambling operators. If gambling stops feeling controlled, becomes a way to chase losses, or affects money, relationships or wellbeing, pause and use support tools before visiting any operator.
Set a spending limit you can afford to lose, decide a time limit before you start, avoid gambling while upset or under pressure, and never borrow money to gamble. If those boundaries feel hard to keep, do not continue.
UK-facing operators should provide safer gambling tools such as deposit limits, reality checks, time-outs and self-exclusion. Check where these tools are located before making any deposit.
If gambling is causing stress, debt, secrecy or conflict, contact GamCare, consider GAMSTOP self-exclusion and speak to a trusted person. Support is available even if you are unsure whether your gambling is a problem.
