Gambling is entertainment you pay for — the cost is the money you lose, and it should be money you can afford to lose. When it stops feeling like that, it is worth acting early.

Signs worth taking seriously
- ›Playing for longer than you meant to, most times you play.
- ›Spending more than you planned, or chasing losses to win them back.
- ›Borrowing, selling things or moving money around to fund play.
- ›Hiding how much you play, or feeling defensive when asked.
- ›Play stopping being fun and starting to feel like something you have to do.
- ›Sleep, work or the people in your life coming second to it.
One of these on its own means very little. Several together, over a few weeks, is a pattern — and the earlier you act on a pattern, the smaller the problem you are acting on.
Habits that keep it in check
- ›Decide your budget before you start, in your own currency, and treat it as spent.
- ›Set a time limit, and take breaks — step away from the screen, not just the game.
- ›Never chase losses. The next spin does not know what the last one did.
- ›Do not gamble to solve money problems, or when you are upset, tired or drinking.
- ›Remember a demo is play money. Demo results are not a guide to real-money results.
Blocking gambling sites
Blocking software stops gambling sites loading on your own devices, and is more reliable than willpower in a bad moment. BetBlocker is free; Gamban is a paid alternative. Parents can use the same tools, or a family filter, on devices a child can reach.
On this site
Gambling is for adults only — 18+, or the legal age where you live if that is higher. Every slot has a free demo on play money; a demo is not practice for winning, and slot results are random.
