Responsible Gambling

Gambling should be a fun and entertaining activity. It is not a way to make money. We are committed to promoting safe and responsible gambling.

How to Play Safely

Set a budget: Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never use money needed for rent, bills, or food.
Set time limits: It's easy to lose track of time. Use alarms or casino reality checks to remind you how long you've been playing.
Don't chase losses: Trying to win back lost money usually leads to bigger losses. Accept the loss as the cost of entertainment.
Don't gamble when upset: Avoid gambling when you are stressed, depressed, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Use casino tools: All UKGC-licensed casinos offer tools like deposit limits, loss limits, time-outs, and self-exclusion. Use them.

Ask yourself the following questions:

Do you stay away from work or college to gamble?
Do you gamble to escape from a boring or unhappy life?
If you run out of money while gambling, do you feel lost and in despair, and need to gamble again as soon as possible?
Do you gamble until your last penny is gone?
Have you ever lied to cover up the amount of money or time you have spent gambling?
Have others ever criticized your gambling?

If you answered yes to some of these questions, you may have a gambling problem and should seek help immediately.
