Responsible gambling

Crash games are fast. A round can last a few seconds, and auto-bet can place hundreds of bets while you watch. That speed is why limits matter more here than in slower games.

Set limits before you play

• Budget. Decide what you can afford to lose before you open the game, and treat it as spent.
• Time. Set a timer. Fast rounds make an hour feel like ten minutes.
• Auto-bet stop rules. If you use auto-bet, always set a stop-loss and a stop-win.
• Deposit limits. Licensed operators let you cap deposits per day, week or month. Use them.

Warning signs

• Chasing losses, or raising stakes to “win it back”
• Playing with money meant for bills, rent or food
• Hiding how much you play from people close to you
• Feeling restless or irritable when you try to stop

Self-exclusion

Most licensed operators offer time-outs and self-exclusion. Some countries also run national schemes that block you from every licensed site at once, such as GAMSTOP in Great Britain.

Get help

Free, confidential support is available. The helpline for your region is in the footer of every page. International support is available through Gambling Therapy, which offers chat and forums in many languages.

Under-age gambling

Gambling is for adults only. The minimum age is 18 in most markets and 21 in some, including many US states and the Philippines. Parents can use device-level filters to block gambling sites.
