Gambling should be treated as a fun pastime, and not as a means to
generate income. Whilst the majority of the population can treat
gambling as recreation and spend only what they can afford to risk,
for some it can be more difficult. It is useful to keep track of the
time and the amount of money spent at an online casino daily.
If you think that you start spending more money than you can afford,
or in case gaming starts interfering with your normal daily routines,
we strongly advise considering several measures that can help, such as
setting Personal Limits on your gaming activities, opting for
Self-Exclusion or contacting one of the organizations detailed below.

practical help in addressing the social impact of gambling in the UK,
