Help
Every page of this site, this one included, carries links to five independent gambling-help organisations. They appear among the links on this page, named exactly as follows:
- BeGambleAware
- Gamble Aware
- Gambling Therapy
- G GamCare Gambling Support: Starts Here
- NCPG
Links
These are the only outbound links on the site that are not commercial. They are handled differently from the operator links:
- They carry no sponsored marking, unlike the operator links.
- They are set to nofollow.
- They open in a separate tab on each organisation's own website.
- This site receives nothing when a reader follows them.
Age
Gambling is for adults only. The eighteen-and-over restriction is repeated throughout this site, including on the front page.
Habits
These habits help keep gambling as paid entertainment rather than a way to make money:
- Decide the amount before starting. A limit set with a clear head holds better than one set during a losing run.
- Treat that amount as already spent. If you expect it back, every loss feels like a debt that needs recovering.
- Never chase a loss. Raising stakes to win money back usually makes the loss larger and faster.
- Keep borrowed money out of it. A loan or credit balance turns a session's loss into repayments that last for months.
- Take breaks. Stepping away lets you check your time and spending before momentum decides for you.
- Involve someone else early. When gambling stops being fun, telling a person you trust or contacting one of the organisations above is easier before the problem grows.
Limits
This site is static information and cannot act on a reader's behalf. It has these limits:
- Deposit caps, loss caps, reality checks, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion are arranged by the reader inside their own account at the gambling destination. This site has no account, no form and no server-side application, so nothing published here can switch such a control on, check it or enforce it.
- Nobody's age is verified on this site, and no gambling takes place here. Any check of that kind happens at the destination.
- No advertising or behavioural profiling network is present in these pages, so nothing here is targeted at a reader who has shown risky behaviour.
