Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you recognise any of the following signs in your own behaviour, it may be time to seek help:

Chasing losses: Betting more money to try to recover money you've lost
Hiding gambling: Concealing your betting activity from family or friends
Increased stakes: Needing to bet larger amounts to get the same excitement
Neglecting responsibilities: Prioritising betting over work, school, or family obligations
Loss of control: Being unable to stick to betting limits you've set
Gambling when distressed: Using betting as a way to escape problems or negative emotions
Financial strain: Borrowing money to fund your betting
Irritability when not betting: Becoming restless or anxious when trying to stop or reduce betting

Self-Help Tools

Most UK-licensed betting operators offer built-in tools to help you stay in control:

Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a chosen timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
Loss Limits: Restrict the amount you're willing to lose in a set period
Reality Checks: Enable reminders during betting sessions to reflect on your activity
Time-Outs: Take a break from betting for a period you choose (typically 24 hours to several weeks)
Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently close your account to prevent access

We encourage you to use these tools proactively as part of your responsible betting strategy.
