Set boundaries before an event
Choose an amount you can afford to lose without affecting rent, bills or savings. Set deposit, loss and time limits before following a card or tournament. Do not borrow to bet or increase a stake to recover losses.
Use account controls
If gambling is hard to control, stop and use the operator’s timeout or self-exclusion controls. Ask your bank about gambling blocks and seek a licensed local support service. Self-exclusion availability differs by country and provider.
Crypto does not remove risk
A token balance is still money. Its value can change while a bet is open, and an irreversible transfer is not a substitute for account safeguards. Do not use another account or a different site to evade an exclusion.
