Safer play information
Practical ways for adults to control time and spending, notice changes in behaviour, step away and seek help when gaming begins to affect money or daily life.
Play should remain entertainment
Gaming involves uncertain outcomes and losses are possible. It should not be treated as a source of income, a way to solve money problems or a reason to spend beyond a planned entertainment budget.
Only take part if you are aged 18 or above and meet the applicable laws and age requirements where you are located. This page provides general safety information and does not make a legal determination for any location.
Decide before you start
Choose the maximum time and amount in advance. Reaching either limit means leaving the page, even if the session has not gone as expected.
Time control
Choose an end time before opening a game. Use a separate alarm, take regular breaks and leave the page when the planned time is reached.
Spending control
Choose an amount that can be lost without affecting essential expenses. Do not use living costs, borrowed money or emergency funds.
Never chase losses
Continuing or increasing spending to recover a loss can make the financial impact larger. Stop when the planned limit is reached and do not return simply to try to win money back.
Warning signs to notice
One sign may be enough to pause and review what is happening. Several signs together are a strong reason to stop and seek independent help.
Take a break
Do not take part while upset, stressed, under the influence of alcohol or otherwise unable to make calm decisions. Close the page, change activity and avoid making an immediate decision to return.
Protect minors and shared devices
Use a device screen lock, do not save login details on a shared device and sign out fully when finished. Keep payment access and verification codes private.
Read Account SecurityPromotions should not change your limit
Do not increase a planned amount or continue for longer because an offer is available. Read the current conditions, consider the full commitment and skip the offer if it conflicts with your original limit.
When to stop and seek help
If gaming causes financial difficulty, distress, conflict, lost sleep or problems at work, stop taking part. Consider speaking with someone you trust and seek independent professional help appropriate to your location.
Do not wait for the situation to become more serious before asking for help.
