A Beginner's Guide to Responsible Play

Prize competitions are entertainment. Here's how to keep them that way.

Set a budget before you browse

Decide what you can afford to spend each month on competitions - then stick to it. Treat the money as gone the moment you enter.

Watch for warning signs

  • Spending more than you planned
  • Chasing losses by entering more draws
  • Hiding your spending from family

Where to get help

If competitions stop being fun, free, confidential support is available:

  • GamCare - www.gamcare.org.uk
