Principles for safe play and control

Gambling involves risk. You can lose money. Plan your play, set limits, and protect your balance and mood. Our responsible gaming policy is designed to support safe betting.

  • Decide an affordable budget before you start playing and stick to it.
  • Set deposit, loss, and stake limits to control spend.
  • Treat gambling as entertainment, not a way to make income.
  • Do not chase losses. Take a break and review your plan.
  • Keep track of time. Use reality checks and session reminders.
  • Avoid betting when tired, stressed, or under the influence.
  • Separate gambling funds from essential expenses.
  • Keep one account per person and secure your login details.
  • Stop when it is no longer fun.
  • Parimatch Tier 2 provides account tools that help you play responsibly.

Warning signs you should not ignore

Problem gambling can grow silently. It needs attention when everyday life is affected.

  • Spending more than you planned on betting.
  • Hiding gambling from family or friends.
  • Borrowing money or selling items to fund play.
  • Chasing losses or raising stakes to feel the same excitement.
  • Feeling anxious, guilty, or irritable when not gambling.
  • Missing work, study, or social plans due to gambling.
  • Using gambling to escape stress or low mood.
  • Losing track of time or money while playing.
  • Ignoring bills or essential costs to gamble.
  • Trying to stop but restarting soon after.

Gambling addiction is a serious condition. Professional support can help you regain control.

Practical steps to prevent harm

You can take firm steps to control gambling and reduce risk. Use account tools and simple habits that protect your budget and wellbeing.

  • Set deposit, loss, and wager limits in your account before you start.
  • Turn on reality checks and session time alerts to manage playing time.
  • Take short time-outs or longer cooling-off periods when needed.
  • Request self-exclusion if you need a complete break from access.
  • Review your betting history to learn patterns and set new limits.
  • Opt out of marketing if promotions trigger risky play.
  • Use banking blocks or card controls that restrict gambling spend.
  • Install blocking tools such as Gamban (gamban.com) or BetBlocker (betblocker.org).
  • Keep devices and payment methods secure to prevent unintended play.
  • Parimatch Tier 2 support can help apply limits, time-outs, or account closure on request.
