Betting is entertainment with a cost, never a way to make money. Parimatch provides tools to keep play within limits, and this page explains how to use them and where to find help if gambling stops being fun.
Keep Gambling Fun
- Decide how much you can afford to lose before you start, and treat it as the price of entertainment.
- Set a time limit for each session.
- Never bet with borrowed money or money meant for bills.
- Do not chase losses – tomorrow is another day.
- Do not gamble when upset, tired or under the influence of alcohol.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
- Spending more time or money than planned
- Hiding gambling from family or friends
- Borrowing money to bet
- Gambling to escape stress or low mood
- Feeling restless or irritable when not gambling
- Neglecting work, study or relationships
