Responsible gambling

Stay in control

• Set a budget before you bet and treat it as the cost of entertainment.
• Use deposit limits, time-outs and reality checks — every licensed bookmaker offers them.
• Never chase losses or borrow money to gamble.
• Don't bet when you're stressed, upset or have been drinking.
• Remember that no tipster, system or booking code guarantees a win.

Warning signs

• Spending more money or time than you intended.
• Hiding your betting from family or friends.
• Feeling anxious or irritable when not betting.
• Betting to win back losses or to solve money problems.

Underage gambling

Betting is for adults only: 18+ in most countries, 21+ in most US states and 25+ in Uganda. Licensed bookmakers must verify your age. Parents can use device-level filters to block gambling sites.
