Warning signs
When it is time to stop
They do not all have to apply. If several of these sound familiar, it is a good moment to talk to someone.
- You stake more than you planned, or more than you can afford to lose.
- You go back to play in order to win back what you lost.
- You borrow money, sell things or use funds meant for other expenses to keep playing.
- You hide how much you gamble from family or friends.
- You think about gambling for much of the day, or it keeps you awake.
- Gambling is affecting your work, your studies or your relationships.
- You feel irritable or anxious when you try to cut down.
Tools
Controls available on licensed sites
Time and session limits
Reality checks and automatic session timeouts that stop long sessions from slipping by unnoticed.
Temporary break
Suspending the account for a set period — useful when you want to stop without closing everything permanently.
Self-exclusion
Blocking access for an extended period or permanently. It is requested from the operator and cannot be reversed early.
Activity history
Reviewing real deposits, stakes and results is the simplest way to see how much was actually played in a month.
Filters at home
If there are minors in the household, content filters and separate user accounts help block access to gambling sites.
Good practice
Five simple rules
- Set an entertainment budget before you start and do not raise it mid-session.
- Set a time limit and stick to it, even when you are winning.
- Never gamble to solve money problems, or while drinking.
- Never chase losses: the previous result does not change the odds of the next one.
- Keep up other activities and relationships away from gambling.
