Responsible gambling

Staying in control, and where to get help.

Updated 4 Oct 2026

Betting should be entertainment, never a way to make money you need.

  • Set deposit limits with your bookmaker.
  • Never chase losses.
  • Take breaks; use time-outs and self-exclusion (GAMSTOP) if you need them.

If gambling is causing you problems, free confidential support is available from BeGambleAware and the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133.
