Responsible Gambling

Set limits on both the money and time you spend gambling. Do not gamble with money needed for rent, bills, food, debt repayments or other essential expenses. Avoid increasing stakes in an attempt to recover losses, and do not borrow money to continue gambling.

Taking regular breaks and keeping track of deposits and losses can make it easier to recognise when gambling is no longer recreational.

Warning signs can include spending more than planned, chasing losses, hiding gambling activity, borrowing to gamble, neglecting work or relationships, or feeling unable to stop. If gambling is causing financial pressure, anxiety or conflict, stopping and seeking support is more important than continuing to play.

UK players can use GAMSTOP to self-exclude from gambling websites operated by businesses participating in the scheme. Blocking software, bank gambling blocks and support organisations can provide additional barriers and assistance.

If you have chosen to self-exclude, do not use offshore or non-GamStop casinos as a way to bypass that decision. Barry Watkin is intended for adults aged 18 and over.
