Gambling should be entertainment, never a way to make money or recover losses. It carries a real risk of financial loss and can be addictive. You must be 18 or older (or the legal age in your jurisdiction) to gamble.
Tools most licensed casinos offer
- Deposit, loss, and wager limits — cap what you can put in or lose over a period.
- Time limits and reality checks — reminders of how long you’ve played.
- Cooling-off periods — short breaks that lock your account temporarily.
- Self-exclusion — block access for months or years.
Set these before you start playing, not after a loss.
Free, confidential help
