Responsible gambling
Betting is entertainment, not a way to make money.
Last updated 3 August 2026Four rules that help
Decide what you can afford before the weekend and stick to it. Never bet to win money back. Never borrow to bet. Keep your stake the same size, win or lose.
Signs it is becoming a problem
Betting money meant for something else, hiding it from people close to you, needing a bet on to enjoy a match, staking more after every loss, or borrowing to bet. Any one of these is reason enough to stop.
Where to get help
Free, confidential support is available around the clock from national gambling helplines and support services. Speaking to someone early makes it easier, not harder.
Tools that work
Every licensed bookmaker must let you set deposit limits and must block your account on request. Free blocking software can shut betting sites off across all your devices, including this one.
Our part in it
We rate our confidence honestly, we publish picks that lose, and we will never tell you a bet is a certainty.
