Responsible Gambling

Betting should always be fun. If it ever stops being enjoyable, help is available — free, confidential and 24/7.

Top10BetsIreland is committed to promoting safer gambling. Betting is a form of entertainment for adults aged 18 and over and should never be seen as a way to make money. The tips and resources below can help you stay in control.

Tips for Staying in Control

  • Set a time and money limit before you start, and stick to it.
  • Only ever bet what you can comfortably afford to lose.
  • Never chase losses — take a break instead.
  • Don't bet when you are upset, stressed or under the influence.
  • Keep betting as one of several leisure activities, not the main one.
  • Use the limit and self-exclusion tools offered by licensed brands.

Recognising the Signs

Warning signs can include spending more time or attention on betting than you intended, feeling anxious about it, or letting it affect your relationships, work or wellbeing. If any of this sounds familiar, reaching out early makes a real difference.

Protecting Under-18s

Gambling is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. If you share devices with minors, consider using parental control and content-filtering software to help keep gambling content away from children.
