1. Gambling should remain a form of entertainment
Gambling outcomes depend on the rules of the selected game and on chance. No slot pattern, betting system or strategy can guarantee a win or reliably recover a loss. Responsible gambling starts with a realistic understanding of risk and with limits set before a session begins.
Do not use gambling as a way to solve financial problems or generate regular income. Only use money that you can afford to lose without affecting rent, food, debt repayments, healthcare, education or other essential expenses.
2. Adults only
Gambling is intended for adults only. Do not share account details with children or teenagers. Avoid saving payment details on shared devices and use parental controls where minors may have access to the same phone, tablet or computer.
3. Personal budget and financial limits
Decide on a maximum spending amount before starting a session. Consider setting daily, weekly and monthly limits. Do not increase stakes after a loss and never borrow money to continue gambling.
- do not use credit or borrowed funds;
- do not chase losses;
- do not cancel a limit under emotional pressure;
- track spending regularly;
- stop when the predefined limit is reached.
4. Time management
Set a session duration in advance and use a reminder to take breaks. Long sessions can reduce concentration and make it harder to take balanced decisions. Regular pauses help maintain perspective and control.
5. When not to gamble
Avoid gambling when you are stressed, exhausted, upset or emotionally overwhelmed. Do not gamble under the influence of alcohol, medication that affects concentration or other substances. If the main goal becomes an urgent attempt to recover money, stop and take a break.
6. Warning signs of loss of control
Pause gambling and consider seeking support if you notice any of the following signs:
- spending more than planned;
- hiding gambling expenses from family or friends;
- missing work, study or important appointments;
- trying to recover every loss immediately;
- using money reserved for essential expenses;
- feeling anxiety, irritation or guilt because of gambling;
- borrowing money or selling possessions to continue.
7. Limits, time-outs and self-exclusion
If gambling no longer feels comfortable, use the self-control tools offered by the relevant external platform. Depending on availability, these may include deposit limits, stake limits, session reminders, cooling-off periods, temporary account restrictions or self-exclusion. Contact the official platform support team to clarify the available options.
8. Account safety
Use a unique password, never share verification codes and open external platforms only through trusted pages. Do not publish account details in comments and do not send payment credentials through open forms. Information about this website's cookies and forms is available in the privacy policy.
9. Supporting a friend or family member
If you believe someone close to you is losing control, discuss the situation calmly and without judgement. Encourage them to take a break, set restrictions and seek professional support. Do not provide money for further gambling and do not attempt to cover gambling-related debts on their behalf.
10. Support
