Responsible gambling
Betting should be fun, never a way to make money or solve problems. Welcome offers involve real-money bets — only ever stake what you can afford to lose.
Stay in control
- Set deposit limits in your account before you start — every UK bookmaker offers them.
- Take a break with time-outs, or self-exclude from a single bookmaker.
- Never chase losses, and don’t bet when you are upset or have been drinking.
