Our commitment is to protect our players by offering practical tools, support, and information to help you manage your gaming responsibly.

  • Account Closure: Request permanent closure of your account at any time if you wish to stop gambling completely.

Recognising Problem Gambling

Gambling should always be a form of entertainment, not a source of stress or financial hardship. You might be experiencing problematic gambling behaviour if you:

  • Gamble to recover losses or to make money.
  • Borrow money or use credit to fund your gambling.
  • Spend more time or money gambling than you originally planned.
  • Neglect work, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling.
  • Experience conflicts or arguments with loved ones about your gambling habits.
  • Use money intended for essential expenses such as rent, bills, or food to gamble.
  • Find it difficult to stop gambling or constantly think about your next bet.

If you recognise any of these signs, we strongly encourage you to take immediate steps to seek help and utilise our responsible gaming tools.

Tips for Responsible Gambling

To help you maintain a healthy gaming experience, consider the following advice:

  • Set a strict budget for losses before you start playing and stick to it.
  • Treat gambling as entertainment, not as a way to make money.
  • Avoid chasing losses or borrowing money to gamble.
  • Set time limits for your gaming sessions and take regular breaks.
  • Balance gaming with other hobbies and social activities.
  • Do not gamble when feeling stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
  • Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, never with essential funds.

Self-Assessment and Support

If you are unsure about your gambling habits, we encourage you to take our confidential self-assessment quiz available on our website. This tool is designed to help you evaluate your behaviour and identify any potential risks.

For personalised support, our dedicated Responsible Gaming Team is available to assist you. You can contact them via email at [email protected] or through our Live Chat service.

  • Permanent Self-Exclusion or Account Closure: Should you decide to stop gambling altogether, you may request permanent exclusion or account closure by contacting our support team at [email protected] or via Live Chat.
