Responsible Gambling
Gambling involves financial risk. It should never be treated as a source of income, a way to repay debt or a solution to financial problems. This website is intended for adults aged 18 and over.
Signs that support may help
Chasing losses, borrowing money, hiding gambling, missing commitments or struggling to stop can indicate harm. You can seek help before the situation becomes severe.
Practical next steps
Pause gambling, protect money needed for essential expenses and speak to someone you trust. Support services can help you consider blocking tools, financial counselling and suitable exclusion options.
