Safer Gambling

Gambling should never be treated as a way to earn money or solve financial difficulties.

Practical steps

• Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
• Set a spending limit and a time limit before you start.
• Take regular breaks and never chase losses.
• Do not gamble when distressed, under pressure or under the influence of alcohol.
• Ask venue staff about available safer gambling tools and self-exclusion.

Support is available

GamCare provides free information and support. The GambleAware website offers information about gambling harms and treatment options. For support with self-exclusion from adult gaming centres, see Bacta and ask venue staff about the relevant scheme.
