Responsible Gaming

This site uses demo credits only, but betting habits carry over to real money. Here is how to keep the game a game.

Who can play

The game is for adults aged 18 and over. If you are a parent, tools such as Family Link on Android or Screen Time on iOS let you block gambling sites on a child's device.

Warning signs

• You play longer than you planned, or lose track of time.
• You chase losses with bigger stakes to "win it back".
• You think about betting when you are doing something else.
• You hide how much you play from people close to you.
• You move from demo credits to real money to feel the same buzz.

If two or more of these sound familiar, talk to someone. The services below are free and confidential.

Before you play for real money

Our Play for real buttons lead to a partner betting site. If you use one, set a deposit limit and a time limit in your account there before your first bet. Licensed operators must offer these tools, along with self-exclusion. A site that does not offer them is a reason to walk away.

Simple limits that help

• Decide how long you will play before you start, and set a phone timer.
• Take a break every 30 minutes. The race clock will keep running without you.
• Treat any balance as spent. Do not top up to chase a loss.
• Do not play when you are upset, tired or have been drinking.
