Responsible gambling
Gambling should never be seen as a way to make money. If it stops being fun, stop.
Set limits first
Use deposit, loss and time limits before you play. Every UK-licensed operator must offer them.
Never chase losses
Trying to win back money usually leads to bigger losses.
Take breaks
Use reality checks and time-outs. Do not gamble when stressed, low or after drinking.
