Responsible gambling

Our position

CLVA publishes ratings, not tips. We don't take bets and we never encourage anyone to gamble. No rating or percentage on this site is a reason to bet, and no model can make betting safe or guarantee a profit.

Keep it under control

• Only bet what you can afford to lose, and set a budget before you start.
• Never chase losses or bet to win back money.
• Don't bet when you're upset, stressed or have been drinking.
• Take regular breaks and keep track of the time and money you spend.
• Use the deposit limits, time-outs and reality checks your bookmaker must offer.

Signs it may be becoming a problem

• Spending more money or time than you meant to
• Borrowing money, or hiding your gambling from people close to you
• Feeling anxious, low or irritable about gambling
• Gambling getting in the way of work, family or sleep
