Responsible gambling
18+ only. Gambling is entertainment that costs money, not a way to make money. The house edge means the longer you play, the more likely you are to lose.
Before you deposit
- Set a budget you can afford to lose and a time limit. Write both down.
- Use the casino's deposit, loss and session limits. Every casino we list has them.
- Keep gambling crypto in a separate wallet from savings.
- Never gamble to pay debts, when upset, or after drinking.
Warning signs
- Chasing losses or depositing again right after a loss.
- Hiding gambling from people close to you.
- Borrowing or selling things to gamble.
- Feeling restless or irritable when not gambling.
If any of these sound familiar, stop and talk to someone. Self-exclude at the casino (account settings or support), install blocking software, and contact a free service below.
