Responsible Gambling
At Bookmakers World, we believe that gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to make money. Our mission is to promote responsible gambling by providing information and resources to help maintain a healthy approach to betting.
Signs of Problem Gambling
- Constantly thinking about gambling and planning your next bet.
- Betting more money than you can afford to lose.
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover previous losses.
- Feeling anxious or irritable when you are unable to gamble.
- Neglecting personal or professional responsibilities due to gambling.
Self-Control Tools
Many online bookmakers offer gambling management tools, such as:
- Deposit limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a given period.
- Time limits: Set reminders for how long you have been gambling.
- Self-exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling platforms.
Support and Resources
If you feel that gambling is becoming a problem for you, seek professional help. Here are some organisations that offer support:
- Gambling Therapy – International support for people affected by gambling problems.
- Gamblers Anonymous – Support groups for individuals facing gambling issues.
- Responsible Gambling Council – Dedicated to the prevention of problem gambling.
Tips for Responsible Gambling
