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

• Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
• Set a budget and stick to it.
• Never chase losses – it can lead to even bigger losses.
• Take regular breaks and avoid gambling when you are emotionally distressed.
• Gamble for entertainment, not as a way to make money.
