If playing no longer feels manageable, take a break and seek support. You do not have to handle gambling-related harm alone.
01Set limits before you play
- Set a budget and a time limit before starting, and stick to both.
- Only spend money you can afford to lose. Check the operator’s official rules for its no-purchase participation option.
- Take regular breaks. Avoid playing when stressed, upset or under the influence.
- Never chase losses or use money needed for essentials.
02Take a break or self-exclude
Check the operator’s website for spending limits, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion tools. Available tools and how they work may differ between casinos.
If you need to stop, contact the operator directly about restricting or closing your account. CasinoPicks cannot manage casino accounts or apply restrictions on your behalf.
