Before you enter
- Set a firm entertainment budget before browsing and never exceed it.
- Do not use money needed for rent, bills, food, debt repayments or savings.
- Do not borrow money or use entry as a way to solve financial problems.
- Remember that losing is the most likely outcome and previous entries do not improve future odds.
- Use the free postal entry route where available and appropriate.
Signs to take a break
Pause if you are chasing losses, hiding spending, feeling anxious or irritable, entering for longer than intended, borrowing to enter, or finding that competitions affect work or relationships.
Your responsible-play settings

Open my responsible-play settingsAn active break blocks new entries and orders, empties the current basket, and cannot be cancelled before it expires. Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed through the account.
