It may be time to pause if you notice you:

• Spend more time or money wagering than you planned to
• Chase losses by depositing again straight away
• Hide the amount of time or money spent from people close to you
• Use wagering to cope with stress, boredom or low mood
• Borrow money or skip bills to fund a deposit

Tools worth setting up in advance

• A deposit limit, set below what you'd be upset to lose
• A session time reminder or reality check
• A self-imposed time-out during stressful periods
• GAMSTOP registration if you'd prefer to remove the option entirely
• A personal rule to never deposit funds meant for essentials
