Responsible Gaming
Horse-racing wagering should remain controlled, deliberate, and entertainment-focused. If gambling stops feeling manageable, pause and seek support early.
Key safeguards
- Set personal deposit and wagering limits before play begins.
- Never chase losses with larger or more frequent bets.
- Take breaks and review account activity regularly.
- Avoid wagering while distressed, impaired, or under financial pressure.
Warning signs
- Borrowing money to wager.
- Hiding gambling activity from family or friends.
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or desperate about racing outcomes.
- Using gambling as a way to recover losses or escape stress.
