Recognise loss of control and find practical routes to support.
Set boundaries before opening a session
Keep discretionary entertainment money separate from food, housing, transport and other obligations. Decide a time and spending boundary in advance. Do not borrow to gamble or raise the boundary to recover a previous loss.
Notice changes in behaviour
Hiding spending, gambling to solve debt, losing sleep or repeatedly failing to stop are reasons to interrupt access. Switching operator or game does not solve a loss-of-control problem.
Make stopping easier
Use available account breaks, limits and exclusion tools. Reduce promotional messages and consider asking a trusted person for support. If your immediate safety is at risk, contact local emergency services.
Find support beyond the operator
Gambling Therapy provides support resources for gambling-related problems. Visit its website for current channels and available languages. You do not need to recover lost money before asking for help.
