Responsible gambling resources

Confidential, free support — you don't have to figure this out alone

Understanding statistics like RTP doesn't change the underlying risk of gambling, and it isn't a way to control outcomes. If gambling has started to feel less like entertainment and more like something you can't stop, the resources below can help — most offer free, confidential support.

Signs it may be time to reach out

• Spending more time or money on gambling than you intended to
• Chasing losses, or gambling to escape stress, sadness, or boredom
• Lying to others about how much you gamble
• Borrowing money, or neglecting work, school, or relationships because of gambling
• Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut down
