18+Gambling is only for adults. In some markets the minimum age is higher (for example 19+ in Ontario and 21+ for casino games in Estonia). Check the rules where you live.

Keep gambling in check

  • Decide on a budget before you start and treat it as the cost of entertainment.
  • Use the deposit, loss and session limits every licensed operator must offer.
  • Never gamble to recover losses, to pay bills or when you are upset or under the influence.
  • Take regular breaks and keep track of time.
  • Do not see gambling as a source of income.

Warning signs

Consider getting help if you spend more than you can afford, borrow money to gamble, hide your gambling from others, feel restless when not gambling or keep trying to win back losses.
