SAFER GAMBLING

Setting limits and taking breaks

Practical ways to pause, set boundaries and find support.

Set boundaries before gambling

Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Set spending and time limits before starting. Treat limits as a ceiling, not a target, and do not chase losses.

Pause or self-exclude

Operator time-outs and self-exclusion tools can help you take a break. GAMSTOP provides online self-exclusion from participating licensed businesses in Great Britain. Bank gambling blocks can be another layer of protection.

Talk to someone

GamCare provides confidential gambling support. If gambling affects your finances, relationships or wellbeing, stop and seek help. Gambling is not a way to earn income.

Support when you need it

Gambling can cause harm. You can choose not to gamble, take a break or use self-exclusion. Independent support is available.
