Make room for boundaries
Gambling should never be a way to pay bills, recover losses or create an income. Taking a break is always a valid choice.
Set limits before you start
Decide how much time you will spend and, if you choose to gamble with money, what amount you can afford to lose after essential costs. Use the operator’s limits where available. Do not raise a limit to keep a session going.
Leave losses where they are
Chasing a loss can lead to further spending. Stop when your time or spending limit is reached. Avoid borrowing money to gamble and avoid playing when upset or impaired.
Notice a change in habits
Hiding activity, neglecting responsibilities or repeatedly spending more than intended are reasons to pause. Consider talking to someone you trust and contacting an appropriate support service in your country.
Use the tools available to you
Operators may offer time-outs, deposit limits and self-exclusion. Ask about their scope and duration. Device or website blocking can help create distance from games. Do not use demos as a substitute if they make it harder to stop.
Adults only; local rules apply
CGA is intended for adults aged 18 and over. Local age limits may be higher. A game being visible online does not establish that real-money play is permitted where you live.
