Gambling is not a way to earn income. The safest choice is not to play. Anyone who participates should use only disposable entertainment money and follow local law.
Set limits before starting
- Choose a maximum loss that will not affect rent, food, debt payments or savings.
- Set a fixed session time and stop when it ends, regardless of the result.
- Do not borrow money, use credit intended for essentials or ask another person to fund play.
- Do not increase stakes to recover a loss.
Warning signs
Take a break and seek support when gambling is hidden from family, creates debt, affects sleep or work, causes repeated attempts to recover losses, or feels difficult to stop. Use cooling-off, deposit limits and self-exclusion tools where available.
Protect accounts and payments
Use a unique password, enable strong authentication, avoid shared devices and never send identity documents through unofficial chat accounts. Payment accounts should belong to the registered user.
Young people and vulnerable users
Minors must not access gambling services. Adults should also avoid participation during financial crisis, emotional distress, substance use or any period in which decision-making is impaired.
