The best limit is one you set before the match

Keep control

• Set separate time and deposit limits before you begin.
• Never borrow money or use funds needed for food, rent, bills or savings.
• Do not chase losses, raise stakes after a setback or play while distressed.
• Take regular breaks and avoid combining gambling with alcohol or other impairing substances.

Warning signs

Secrecy, missed obligations, repeated attempts to win money back, borrowing, disrupted sleep and feeling unable to stop are reasons to pause immediately and seek support.

Use operator controls

Deposit limits, time-outs, account closure and self-exclusion are designed to create friction when willpower is under pressure. Contact the operator directly if these controls are not visible in your account.

Get help

If gambling is affecting you or someone close to you, speak with a qualified local counsellor or recognised support organisation. In an immediate crisis, contact local emergency services.
