Keep essential money outside the activity
Money needed for rent, food, debt or other obligations is not an entertainment budget. Chasing a loss, borrowing to continue or increasing stakes to recover a previous session can increase harm. A low unit size does not make an unlimited session affordable.
Use the right restriction
A deposit limit, time limit, account closure and self-exclusion can have different scopes. Ask the responsible provider what the chosen restriction covers and when it takes effect. Reinstalling an app or opening another account is not a way to undo a protection.
Seek local help
If gambling is causing distress or financial harm, pause access and seek support from a trusted person or a local health service. Age and territorial conditions differ by service and jurisdiction. This publication does not diagnose a condition or supply emergency care; use local emergency services for an immediate crisis.
