Responsible Gambling

Gambling should be fun. If it stops being fun, or you're spending money or time you can't afford, it's time to stop.

Stay in control

• Set a budget before you start and never go over it.
• Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never with money for rent, bills or food.
• Don't chase losses. Accept them as the cost of entertainment.
• Take regular breaks and set a time limit.
• Use deposit limits and self-exclusion tools. Every site we list has them.
• Never gamble if you're under 18 or where it's illegal for you.

Warning signs

• Spending more than you planned, or borrowing to gamble
• Hiding your gambling from friends or family
• Feeling anxious, irritable or low when you're not gambling

Is gambling becoming a problem?

Answer these honestly. The more you answer "yes", the more likely it is that gambling is hurting you:

• Have friends or family criticised your gambling?
• Have you lied about how much time or money you spend gambling?
• Do you gamble to escape stress, boredom or a bad mood?
• After losing, do you feel you must win it back as soon as possible?
• Do you gamble until your last euro, skin or crypto is gone?
• Have you borrowed, sold things or stolen to gamble or pay gambling debts?
• Have you lost interest in friends, school, work or hobbies because of gambling?

Most sites we list let you set deposit limits, take a break or exclude yourself; look for it in your account settings, or ask their support. A blocker like Gamban stops gambling sites on all your devices.
