Set boundaries before play

Choose a spending limit and a time limit before engaging with a gambling service. Do not use borrowed money or funds needed for bills and daily living. A limit is a maximum, not a target to spend.

Recognise a reason to stop

Chasing losses, hiding spending or feeling unable to pause are reasons to step away and seek help. Using a larger stake to recover a loss can make the situation worse.

Use practical barriers

Look for account breaks, exclusion tools, device blocking and payment controls. Consider asking someone you trust to support your decision to stop.

Find support

For gambling-related support information, visit GamCare or seek a qualified local service. Support availability varies by location. If you are in immediate danger, contact local emergency services.
