⚠️ Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Time Limits
Decide how much time you want to spend gambling and stick to it. Use alarms or timers as reminders.
Loss Limits
Set a maximum loss limit and stop playing when you reach it. Never chase your losses.
Win Limits
Set a target win amount and consider stopping when you reach it to lock in your profits.

- Contact the gambling site's customer support to request self-exclusion
- Specify the duration of your exclusion period
- The site will block your access during this time
- You cannot reverse the decision until the period expires
