Betting and casino games are a form of entertainment — not a source of income. On this page you will find the responsible gaming principles we follow and recommend. All content on this site is intended only for users aged 18 and over.
Golden rules
- Play only with money you can afford to lose; never touch rent, bill or borrowed money.
- Set a budget and a time limit before you start, and stop when you reach them.
- Never chase your losses; loss chasing is the most common mistake of all.
- Do not play while drunk, tired or upset.
- Never use gambling as an escape from your problems.
Warning signs
If one or more of the following feel familiar, it may be time to take a break:
- Playing longer and with higher amounts than planned
- Borrowing money or selling valuables to keep playing
- Hiding losses from family or friends
- Constantly thinking about playing when you are not
- Trying to stop and not managing to
Self-control tools
F1Casino account settings include deposit limits, loss limits, session reminders, time-outs and self-exclusion tools. Activating them takes a few minutes and is completely free. Requests to lower a limit apply immediately, while requests to raise one only apply after a cooling-off period.
Support resources
If you feel your gambling is getting out of control, you are not alone. Free and anonymous help is available from international organisations:
- Gamblers Anonymous — anonymous support meetings and online resources
- GamCare — free counselling and a live support line
- Gambling Therapy — multilingual online therapy support
You can also contact the addiction units of health institutions in your country. Taking an early step is always the easiest solution.
