Play dirty, play safe: the 18+ checklist

Set limits, keep it entertaining, and know where to get help.

Cheeky themes are part of the fun, but the maths of a slot doesn't change because it has a glamorous wrapper.

• Decide your budget before you play and treat it as the price of a night out.
• Use deposit limits and session reminders — every casino we list has them.
• Never chase losses.
• If gambling stops being fun, take a break or self-exclude. Help: BeGambleAware.org, GamCare.org.uk, 1-800-GAMBLER.
