Responsible gambling

Betting should be entertainment, not a way to make money or escape problems. Our predictions are analysis and opinion. They are never a guarantee, and even the best tipsters lose often.

Simple rules that help

• Set a budget before you bet and never go over it.
• Only stake money you can afford to lose.
• Never chase losses by betting more to win it back.
• Do not bet when you are upset, under pressure or have been drinking.
• Keep track of how much time and money you spend.
• Use the deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion tools your bookmaker offers.

Warning signs

It may be time to stop if you bet more than you planned, borrow money to gamble, hide your betting from people close to you, or feel anxious when you are not betting.
