Gambling should only ever be a form of entertainment for adults aged 18 and over. While most people who gamble do so without problems, gambling can become addictive for some. If you notice yourself chasing losses, gambling with money you cannot afford to lose, or gambling more frequently or with larger stakes than intended, these may be signs of problem gambling.
We offer tools to help you stay in control. You can set deposit limits, time limits, and loss limits on your account. If you need to step back from gambling entirely, we provide a self-exclusion option that will block your access to your account. You can also use our Reality Check feature to receive notifications during your session.
If you are concerned about your gambling or that of someone else, support is available. GamCare (www.gamcare.org.uk) offers free, confidential advice and support. Gamblers Anonymous (www.gamblersanonymous.org.uk) provides peer support meetings across the UK. The National Problem Gambling Clinic on the NHS also offers specialist treatment. You can also contact the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133 (free and open 24 hours, 7 days a week).
