Responsible Gambling

Betting should be entertainment, not a financial strategy. We take this seriously.

⚠️

This platform is for users aged 18 and over only. If you or someone you know may have a gambling problem, help is available. See the support resources at the bottom of this page.

The Golden Rules

Only bet with money you can afford to lose.
Set a budget before you start and stick to it.
Never chase losses — walk away and come back another day.
Do not bet under the influence of alcohol or strong emotions.
Treat betting as entertainment, not as income.
Keep track of how much time and money you are spending.

●Lie to friends or family about gambling

●Chase losses with bigger bets

●Feel anxious or irritable when not betting

●Borrow money to gamble

●Neglect work, school, or relationships
