Responsible gambling
Sports betting is for adults only (18 and over). Chances are you're about to lose.
Betting should stay a hobby
Play responsibly: set yourself a budget, never chase your losses and take regular breaks. If it feels like it stops being fun, call Gambling Help Online on 1800 858 858 or self-exclude with BetStop. Sports betting is not a way to make a living: it's entertainment, with a real risk of loss.
Our tips
- Set a monthly budget you won't go over.
- Never bet money you need to live on.
- Don't try to chase your losses after a loss.
- Take regular breaks and keep up other hobbies.
- Don't bet while emotional or under the influence of alcohol.
Operator tools
Reputable sites offer responsible gambling tools: deposit limits, stake limits, temporary or permanent self-exclusion. Don't hesitate to switch them on in your account settings.
Under-18s not permitted
Sports betting is strictly forbidden for anyone under 18. You must be 18 or older to bet.
