Play safe
Responsible Gaming
Gambling should be entertainment, never a way to make money or solve problems. Please read this page before you play.
18+ only. Gambling can be addictive. Never gamble with money you can't afford to lose. If you need support right now, see the free resources below.
Keep it fun
- Set a budget before you play, and treat it as the price of entertainment. Don't exceed it.
- Set a time limit and take regular breaks. Use the deposit, loss and time limits available on your platform.
- Never chase losses. Losing is part of gambling. Trying to win it back is how problems start.
- Don't gamble with money you need for rent, bills, food, debt repayments or savings. Never borrow to gamble.
- Don't play when upset, stressed, tired or intoxicated.
- Know the odds. Every game has a house edge, and the RTP is a long-run average. High volatility games like ours can go a long time without a win. Results are never guaranteed.
How to know when to stop
Consider taking a break or seeking help if you recognise any of these:
- Spending more money or time than you planned.
- Thinking about gambling all the time, or feeling restless when you try to stop.
- Chasing losses or gambling to escape stress, boredom or low mood.
- Lying to family or friends about how much you gamble.
- Borrowing money, selling things or missing bills to fund gambling.
- Neglecting work, study, relationships or your health.
- Feeling guilty, anxious or ashamed after you play.
If this sounds familiar, you are not alone, and help is free and confidential. Reaching out early makes a real difference.
Tools that help
- Reality checks and limits: use the deposit, wager, loss and session limits offered by the platform you play on.
- Take a break or self-exclude: most platforms let you pause or block your account. In Great Britain, GAMSTOP covers all licensed operators at once.
- Blocking software: Gamban and BetBlocker block gambling sites and apps on your devices.
- Talk to someone: a friend, family member or one of the services below.
Under 18?
Our games are for adults only. If you are under 18, please do not play. Parents and guardians can use device-level parental controls and filtering software to keep gambling content away from children.
