18+ only. Gambling should be treated as entertainment, never as a way to make money. Only bet what you can afford to lose.
Keep gambling fun
- Set a budget before you start, and stick to it.
- Set a time limit and take regular breaks.
- Never chase your losses.
- Don't gamble when you're upset, stressed or have been drinking.
- Never borrow money to gamble.
- Balance gambling with other activities.
Warning signs
It may be time to seek help if you are spending more money or time than you intended, hiding your gambling from people close to you, feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling, or gambling to escape problems.
