Responsible gambling in the UK: set limits, take time-outs, self-exclude, and get support to play safely.

Basic Principles of Responsible Gambling

Gambling always carries the risk of financial loss. Plan your play and protect your budget. Only gamble money you can afford to lose.

On Amigo wins, you can use tools that help you stay in control:

  • Set deposit, loss and session limits before you start playing.
  • Turn on reality checks and session reminders to keep track of time.
  • Use time-outs or self-exclusion if you need a break from betting.
  • Review your account and transaction history to learn from your play.

Keep gambling separate from your essential finances. Do not chase losses. Avoid gambling when tired, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol. Our safer gambling policy sets out the tools and support we provide. You must be 18 or over to use our services in the UK.

How to Recognise Betting Addiction?

Gambling addiction can develop gradually. Warning signs may appear in your spending, mood, and daily routine. This is a serious condition that needs attention.

  • Spending more than you can afford or using money needed for bills and essentials.
  • Chasing losses or increasing stakes to recover money.
  • Struggling to stop or control gambling once you start.
  • Feeling irritable, anxious, or low when not playing.
  • Hiding betting from family or friends, or lying about time and spend.
  • Borrowing, using credit, or selling items to fund gambling.
  • Missing work, studies, or social plans because of gambling.
  • Thinking about gambling most of the day or planning the next bet.
  • Gambling to escape stress, sadness, or boredom.
  • Trying to bypass self-exclusion or opening new accounts to continue playing.
