Play safe

Responsible gaming

Hilal is for adults aged 18 and over. Games of chance are entertainment, not a way to make money. Over time the games pay back less than is staked, so expect to lose what you spend.

Keep it fun

• Decide before you play how much you can afford to lose, and stop when it is gone.
• Never borrow money, or use money meant for rent, food, school fees or family, to play.
• Don't chase losses by playing more to win them back.
• Take breaks. Set a time limit and keep to it.
• Don't play when you are upset, stressed or after drinking.

Warning signs

• Spending more money or time than you planned.
• Hiding your playing from family or friends.
• Feeling anxious or irritable when you are not playing.
• Playing to escape problems, or to win back money you lost.
