Responsible Gambling

18+ only. Betting should be entertainment, never a way to earn money.

Signs betting may be a problem

• Spending more money or time than you planned
• Chasing losses with bigger stakes
• Borrowing money or selling things to bet
• Hiding betting from family or friends
• Feeling anxious or irritable when not betting
• Betting taking priority over work, school or family

Tips to stay in control

• Set a deposit limit before you start, and keep it.
• Decide a budget you can afford to lose; never use money for rent, food or school fees. Our football betting guide shows how to set stakes and limits.
• Take regular breaks and set time reminders.
• Don’t bet when stressed, upset or after drinking.
• Remember: no tipster or system can promise wins.
• Keep betting separate from your savings and business accounts.
