The essentials
Put your wellbeing before gambling
Gambling can affect money, mood and relationships. You do not need to wait for a crisis before asking for help.
Protect priority spending
Keep rent, food, bills and savings separate from money set aside for play.
Talk to someone you trust
A trusted person or support service can help you pause, reflect and decide what to do next.

- Gambling is entertainment, not a dependable way to earn money.
- Trying to recover losses can lead to further spending.

In the United Kingdom, check the UK Gambling Commission’s information on licensed gambling services. UK Gambling Commission information.
