Keep gambling out of your essentials
Set boundaries before any decision
The safest financial choice is not to gamble. If you choose to do so where lawful, use only money you can afford to lose, set strict time and loss limits and never use borrowed money or money for essentials. Gambling is not income or an investment.
Recognise reasons to stop
Chasing losses, concealing spending, borrowing to play or feeling unable to stop are reasons to pause and seek support. Use operator self-exclusion, bank gambling blocks and device blocking tools where available. Do not open another account to defeat an exclusion.
