When to stop and seek support
Before playing for money, choose a maximum amount and a maximum time. Write those limits down and avoid changing them after a win or loss. Do not use money needed for housing, food, debts, or other essentials. Borrowing to recover losses can make a problem worse.
Warning signs include hiding spending, checking a platform constantly, losing sleep, neglecting duties, or feeling unable to stop. If you have an account, find the operator's break, limit, and self-exclusion settings. This guide cannot activate them on another service.
Speak with someone you trust and seek local professional help if gambling is affecting your life. You do not need to wait for a severe loss to ask. People below the permitted age where they live should not use money-based gaming services.
