Protective steps
Set hard limits
Decide in advance how much money and time you can afford to lose, and stop when the limit is reached.
Use breaks or exclusion
Use time-outs, account closure or self-exclusion where available when gambling becomes difficult to control.
Seek independent help
Use official responsible-gambling or health-support services appropriate to your country or region.
Emergency financial risk
If gambling is affecting rent, food, debt repayment or other essential expenses, stop gambling and seek independent financial or health support rather than trying to recover losses through further betting.
