Set a boundary before you start

Choose an affordable entertainment budget and a time limit. Keep rent, food, bills and borrowed money out of that budget. A lost stake is not a reason to raise the next one. Do not treat a bonus, prediction or previous win as a guarantee.

Use the account tools

Look for deposit limits, time reminders, cooling-off and self-exclusion in the operator account. If you need to stop, ask support to explain the applicable restriction and how long it lasts. Consider blocking payments or access on devices you use.

When to get support

Hiding play, borrowing to gamble, chasing losses or struggling to stop are reasons to take a break and seek help. Speak to someone you trust or a qualified local support service. The Gaming Commission provides responsible-gaming information; its complaint procedure can help you document an unresolved operator issue.
