Responsible gambling

Every casino game on this site has a negative expected value. The calculators exist to make that cost visible — not to suggest it can be beaten.

Before you play

• Decide the most you are prepared to lose before you deposit, and treat it as spent.
• Set a time limit as well as a money limit. Rakeback and bonuses reward volume; your budget should not.
• Never chase losses. The next bet carries the same house edge as the last one.
• Do not gamble to solve a money problem, or while drinking, tired or upset.

Tools the casinos provide

All nine casinos listed here offer deposit limits, cool-off periods and self-exclusion from the account settings or through support. Self-exclusion should cover every casino you use, not only one.

Warning signs

• Spending more time or money than you planned, more often than not.
• Borrowing, or using money meant for bills, to gamble.
• Hiding gambling from people close to you.
• Feeling restless or irritable when you try to stop.
