Responsible betting: adults only and staying in control

Only people aged 18 or older may use this service. Sportsbooks may verify age at registration or withdrawal. Parents can use device or router parental controls to block gambling websites.

You are responsible for following your country's law and the sportsbook's terms.

Pause and seek support if you recognise these patterns:

• Using funds needed for bills, food or debt repayments.
• Increasing stakes to recover a loss quickly.
• Raising stakes to feel the same excitement.
• Ukrywasz przed bliskimi, ile grasz i ile tracisz.
• Borrowing or selling possessions to fund betting.
• Thinking about betting during work, family time or when trying to sleep.
• Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to bet.
• Trying to cut back and finding you can't.

• Set hours. You don't need to respond to every alert. Use quiet hours during sleep, work and family time.
• Don't bet when impaired. Tiredness, distress or alcohol can increase mistakes and impulsive decisions.
• Don't chase losses. Increasing stakes to recover a failed hedge can compound the harm.
• Take breaks. If a day or week without betting feels difficult, seek support.
• Review the numbers. Check your actual profit and balances regularly, not only after a good day.

• A doctor, psychologist or therapist. Gambling problems can be treated. Ask about support available where you live.
• Support groups. Gamblers Anonymous and similar groups offer local or online meetings.
• Someone you trust. Speaking with a friend or family member can help you take the first step.
• If there is immediate danger to life, contact your local emergency service. In the EU, call 112.
