Warning signs
- Gambling with money you need for rent, bills or food
- Chasing losses — betting more to win back what you've lost
- Lying to friends or family about how much you gamble
- Feeling anxious, irritable or restless when you're not gambling
- Borrowing money or selling things to gamble
Tools you can use
Deposit & loss limits: set them before you play. Most operators let you cap daily, weekly or monthly deposits.
Time-outs & cool-offs: lock yourself out for 24 hours to 6 weeks.
Self-exclusion: block your account for months or permanently.
Important — offshore operators: the casinos and sportsbooks we review are licensed offshore and are not part of US state self-exclusion programs (like your state's voluntary exclusion list). You must use each operator's own self-exclusion and limit tools, and can also use device-level blocking software such as Gamban or GamBlock.

Protecting minors
You must be at least 21 (18 at some operators) to gamble. If children use your devices, use parental-control and site-blocking tools to keep gambling sites out of reach.
