Signs to stop
Pause if you hide activity, spend longer or more than intended, chase losses, neglect responsibilities, borrow money, or feel anxious and unable to stop. Use any available account limits, time-outs or self-exclusion controls.
If gambling is causing harm, stop now. Contact a qualified local health professional or support service. If you face immediate danger or a crisis, contact your local emergency service.
