Help links appear on every page here
You can rely on one thing wherever you are on this site. Every page, this one included, carries links to five independent gambling-help organisations. The site also has firm limits, and they are set out below so you know where to look instead.
- The five links are BeGambleAware, Gamble Aware, Gambling Therapy, G GamCare Gambling Support: Starts Here and NCPG. Each is an independent source of help.
- They are the only non-commercial outbound links on the site. They carry no sponsored marking, they are set to nofollow, and they open in a separate tab on each organisation's own website.
- This site receives nothing when you follow one of them.
- This build has no account, no form and no server-side application. Nothing published here can switch on, check or enforce any gambling control.
Spending controls live in your account at the destination
Caps on deposits or losses, reality checks, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion all belong to an operator account. If you want any of them, you have to set them up yourself inside your account on the site where you play.
- No gambling takes place on this site.
- Nobody's age is verified here. Any check of that kind happens at the destination.
- No advertising or behavioural profiling network runs in these pages. Nothing here is targeted at a reader who has shown risky behaviour.
Only adults should gamble
The eighteen-and-over restriction is repeated throughout this site, including on the front page. If you are under eighteen, do not gamble.
Habits like these keep gambling as entertainment
Each habit below protects against a specific way that losses grow.
- Set your amount before you start. A limit chosen in the moment tends to stretch as play goes on.
- Treat that money as already spent. If you expect it back, every loss starts to feel like a debt you need to recover.
- Never chase a loss. A bigger stake does not change the odds. It only makes the next loss larger.
- Keep borrowed money out of it. Credit turns a bad night into repayments that last for months.
- Take regular breaks. Stepping away interrupts the momentum that makes you lose track of time and money.
Bring in someone else early
Once gambling stops feeling like entertainment, tell someone you trust or contact one of the five organisations linked on this page. Acting early is easier than acting after the damage has built up.
