Responsible play

Last updated: 8 November 2026

Gambling costs money over time. Nothing about the house edge is a caution sign; it is the maths paying for everything, and neither bonuses, filters nor strategies can touch it. Everything that follows stems from this.

Decide before you start

It is the first deposit, not a losing streak, that should prompt you to fix how much you can afford to lose. A calmly chosen limit stays in place, but chasing losses undoes any limit set in that state. Treat your spend like the price of a night out rather than money you expect to recoup.

The tools in your account

• Deposit limit — the most you may deposit within a day, a week or a month.
• Loss limit — a cap on how much you can lose overall across a period.
• Session reminder — a notification telling you how long your play session has run.
• Time-out — blocks account access for a length of time you pick.
• Self-exclusion — closes off the account over a longer duration.

Immediate effect follows any lowering of a limit. On purpose, it takes longer to raise a limit, precisely so it cannot be scrapped at the critical moment.

Warning signs

Three behaviours are worth catching before they become a habit: dipping into money that was earmarked for other bills, staking more in the hope of undoing an earlier loss, and quietly understating to friends how much time or cash has really gone in. On its own, any single sign is not very telling. Jointly, the three have meaning.

Where to get help

Not one of these organisations is affiliated with us.

• Tele-MANAS — 14416, free and confidential.
• A doctor or counsellor — gambling problems are treated like any other addiction, in confidence.
• Gamban — a tool for keeping gambling sites off your devices entirely.

Under-age gambling

We limit accounts to adults who are at least 18. Sharing a device calls for parental control software and login details kept well out of reach. Finding that a minor opened the account means closing it and voiding the winnings.
