Recognizing that some individuals may experience loss of control, we urge everyone to bet safely and responsibly. Problem gambling is characterized by harmful or disruptive behaviour, affecting daily life. According to a YouGov survey, around 2.7% of UK adults, approximately 1.4 million people, may have a gambling problem.


Warning signs of problem gambling include excessive time spent thinking about gambling, exceeding budgeted amounts, emotional distress from losses, and the urge to chase losses. It's crucial to identify these signs and take appropriate action.


To gamble more responsibly, set affordable budgets, be mindful of time spent gambling, and balance activities. Avoid chasing losses, and refrain from gambling when agitated, depressed, or under the influence of substances. Support organizations are available for those needing assistance.


Tools such as deposit limits, cooling-off periods, profit and loss records, reality checks, and self-exclusion are available to help users control their betting activities.


Support services like GamCare and BeGambleAware.org provide assistance and counseling for those with gambling problems. Additional resources include Gambling Therapy, Gamblers Anonymous, Gam-Anon, and The Samaritans.


For information on dealing with debt, consult Citizens Advice or the National Debt Helpline. Remember, responsible gambling ensures a safer and enjoyable experience for all.
