Risks to know
In the United Kingdom, check the applicable rules and the UK Gambling Commission’s information. Read UKGC information.
Deposit boundaries

Check the deposit and loss controls available in your account. Limits are boundaries, not targets; check the cashier for available settings.
Time away
Decide on a stopping time before you begin and set a reminder outside the gambling service.
Close the service, switch off gambling notifications and move on to another activity.
Consider whether gambling is affecting your sleep, work, relationships or thoughts.
If you keep extending a session or find it hard to stop, speak with a support service.
