Gambling always carries a risk of financial loss. Plan your play and use account tools to protect your budget and your peace of mind. Parimatch provides practical controls so you can enjoy betting responsibly.

• Treat gambling as entertainment, not a source of income.
• Set a budget you can afford to lose and stick to it.
• Choose deposit, loss, and wager limits in your account before you start.
• Turn on session reminders and cooling-off breaks to manage playing time.
• Check your betting history to learn from patterns and adjust.
• Never chase losses or borrow money to gamble.
• Avoid gambling when stressed, tired, or under the influence.
• Keep funds for essentials separate from gambling funds.
• Follow local laws and age rules. Gambling is for adults 18+ only.

Problems can build quietly, then affect money, mood, and relationships. Gambling addiction is a serious condition and needs attention.

• Spending more than planned or needed for bills and essentials.
• Chasing losses or increasing stake sizes to recover money.
• Thinking about betting most of the day.
• Hiding gambling from family or friends.
• Feeling irritable or restless when trying to cut down.
• Skipping work, studies, or social time to keep playing.
• Using credit or loans to fund gambling.
• Repeated failed attempts to stop or reduce betting.
• Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or low mood.
• Lying about time or money spent on gambling.

You can take clear steps to reduce harm and restore control. Start small, build routines, and use the tools designed to protect you.

• Set strict deposit and loss limits in your account and keep them in place.
• Activate time-outs to pause gambling for set periods.
• Turn on reality checks and session reminders to manage playing time.
• Use self-exclusion if you need a longer break from access.
• Remove saved payment methods to add a pause before any deposit.
• Opt out of marketing messages to reduce triggers.
• Install website or app blockers on devices you use for gambling.
• Share your plan with someone you trust and ask for support.
• Seek professional counselling for addiction and related stress.
• Contact Parimatch Support to adjust limits or close your account.
