Responsible Gambling
Betting should be a form of entertainment, never a source of income or a way to solve financial problems. You must be 18 or older to bet.
Warning Signs
- Betting more money or more time than you planned to.
- Chasing losses with increasingly large bets.
- Hiding gambling habits from family or friends.
- Borrowing money or selling belongings to gamble.
- Feeling irritable or anxious when trying to cut down or stop.
Available Tools

Set a daily, weekly or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into an account.
Loss and stake limits
Set the maximum amount you're willing to lose or stake over a period.

Get periodic reminders of the time and money spent during a session.
Self-exclusion
Block your own access to one operator (or every licensed operator in a country) for a set period or permanently.
Support Organisations
In Portugal, SICAD (Serviço de Intervenção nos Comportamentos Aditivos e nas Dependências) covers support for addictive behaviours, including gambling. Confirm the current official contact details on the SICAD website before publishing.
In Brazil, CVV (Centro de Valorização da Vida) offers general emotional support by phone (188) and is not gambling-specific, but may be a first resource where no dedicated local service yet exists. Also seek specialised psychological support for addictive behaviours.
