Our responsible-play principles
Legal-age participation only
Gambling is only for people who meet the legal age and eligibility requirements that apply where they live. Visitors should check current identity, location, and account conditions before participating.
Tools that support a decision
Useful protections include deposit, loss, wager, and time limits; reality checks; cooling-off periods; self-exclusion; bank transaction blocks; and device-level blocking. Availability varies, so check the controls offered for the applicable account and jurisdiction.
No misleading promises
Real-money games involve risk and outcomes cannot be guaranteed. Marketing should not suggest that gambling solves financial problems, creates reliable income, or improves social status.
Simple access to help
Support and self-exclusion information should be easy to find. People concerned about their gambling should stop, avoid chasing losses, and seek confidential help from an appropriate service in their country.
Understanding probability and limits cannot guarantee a win. Stop if gambling affects essential spending, debt, sleep, work, relationships, or mental health.
A useful rule today
If a gambling website is affecting your finances, relationships, work, or wellbeing, step away and contact a local professional support service. In an immediate financial or mental-health crisis, contact the emergency service available where you live.
