THE INDEPENDENT SHORTLIST / FIELD NOTES

Keep gambling within your limits

Gambling is for adults aged 18+ and involves a risk of losing money. It is never a way to earn an income or recover a loss.

Set limits in advance

Choose a time and spending limit you can afford before playing. Never borrow to gamble or use money needed for bills. Take breaks and stop if you feel pressure to continue.

Use tools and support

Look for deposit limits, time reminders, cooling-off and self-exclusion options. If gambling is affecting your life, seek independent support and consider blocking gambling payments through your bank.

Find independent help
