Set a limit before participation
Use only money you can afford to lose, never borrow to gamble and avoid chasing losses. Decide in advance how much time and money you are willing to spend; use account limits and breaks where available.
Warning signs
Repeatedly exceeding a budget, hiding transactions, neglecting obligations or feeling unable to stop can indicate a developing problem. Consider time-outs and self-exclusion and seek help from an independent local support organisation.
Local law determines eligibility
Rules vary across countries and states, including minimum age and eligibility restrictions. A site’s “18+” label is not an assertion that gambling is legal for everyone aged 18 or older. Some operators featured in the directory specify 21+.
