Staying in control

• Decide before you start what you can afford to lose, and stop when you reach it.
• Never chase losses.
• Bet only with money set aside for it, never money meant for bills or essentials.
• Don’t bet when you are upset, stressed or have been drinking.
• Use the deposit and time limits your bookmaker offers.
• Many UK banks let you block gambling payments on your card from their app.

Signs it may be a problem

• Spending more money or time on gambling than you can afford.
• Borrowing money, or selling things, to gamble.
• Chasing losses, or gambling to get out of money trouble.
• Hiding your gambling from the people close to you.
• Feeling anxious or irritable when you are not gambling.

If any of these sound familiar, the helpline above is a good first call.
