Responsible Gambling
At SportAffi we believe betting should be entertainment — never a way to make money or to solve financial problems. You must be 18 or over to bet. We only recommend bookmakers licensed by the UK Gambling Commission, and, for players in Ireland, operators licensed under Ireland’s new framework as it comes into effect.
Stay in control
Set a budget before you start and stick to it. Only stake what you can afford to lose. Take regular breaks and never chase your losses. Don’t bet when you’re upset, stressed or under the influence of alcohol.
Signs that gambling may be a problem
You spend more money or time than you planned. You borrow money to bet. Gambling affects your work, sleep or relationships. You try to win back what you’ve lost. If any of this sounds familiar, you are not alone — free, confidential help is available.
Tools at the bookmakers
Every licensed bookmaker offers responsible-gambling tools: deposit limits, loss limits, time-outs, reality checks and self-exclusion. We encourage you to use them.
