Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Betting more than you planned on a regular basis is an early warning sign. Chasing losses — placing larger bets to recover money lost previously — is one of the most dangerous patterns in problem gambling. Feeling anxious when unable to bet, lying to friends or family about how much you bet, and borrowing money to fund betting are serious indicators that betting has moved beyond entertainment.
If you recognise any of these patterns, take a break immediately and use the self-exclusion tools available at your bookmaker. Any loss of control is worth addressing early.
Tools to Stay in Control
Deposit Limits
Every reputable licensed bookmaker offers deposit limits — daily, weekly, or monthly caps on how much you can add to your account. Set these before you start betting. Most platforms allow you to lower your limit immediately but require a cooling-off period before raising it.
Session Time Limits
Time limits restrict how long you can be logged in per session. Losing track of time is a common feature of problem gambling — session limits interrupt this pattern and force a conscious decision to continue or stop.
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion allows you to block yourself from a bookmaker for a set period — typically 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or permanently. During this period the bookmaker is required to close your account and return any remaining balance.
