Responsible Gambling
Gambling is entertainment with a cost attached. Treat it as a purchase, not as a way to make money.
Before you deposit
Decide the amount you are prepared to lose and treat it as spent the moment it leaves your wallet. Never fund an account with money set aside for rent, bills, food or debt, and never deposit to recover a previous loss.
A note on zero house edge
A 100% return game is fair, which is not the same as safe. Fair maths means the expected outcome over a long run is break even, not profit. Individual sessions still swing hard in both directions, and no return figure protects a bankroll from chasing.
Tools available at the operator
Duel provides deposit limits, self exclusion and reality check reminders. All three are worth setting on the day you open the account rather than on the day you need them.
Signs it has stopped being a game
- Playing longer than you meant to, repeatedly.
- Depositing after a loss to get even.
- Hiding how much you play from people close to you.
- Borrowing, or using money set aside for something else, to fund a session.
- Feeling you cannot stop when you decide to.
Any one of those on its own is a reason to close the account and talk to someone.
Where to get help
Free, confidential support is available from BeGambleAware, GamCare and Gamblers Anonymous. Contacting them costs nothing and does not require you to stop first.
