Responsible Gambling

At Strong Promise Racing, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling and ensuring that betting remains a fun and enjoyable activity. While horse racing betting can be exciting, it is important to gamble responsibly and within your means.

1 - Understanding Responsible Gambling

Responsible gambling means maintaining control over your betting and ensuring that it does not negatively impact your life or well-being. This includes:

  • Setting limits on how much time and money you spend betting.
  • Never chasing losses or betting more than you can afford to lose.
  • Viewing gambling as entertainment rather than a way to make money.
  • Taking breaks and ensuring that betting does not interfere with other responsibilities.

2 - Signs of Problem Gambling

If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling, it may be helpful to look out for the following warning signs:

  • Spending more money on gambling than intended.
  • Feeling anxious, guilty, or stressed about betting.
  • Lying to family or friends about gambling habits.
  • Borrowing money or using funds meant for other expenses to gamble.
  • Finding it difficult to stop or control gambling behaviour.

If any of these apply to you, it may be time to seek help and support.

3 - Tools to Help You Stay in Control

Many bookmakers and responsible gambling organisations offer tools to help manage betting behaviour, including:

  • Deposit Limits - set limits on how much you can deposit over a certain period.
  • Time-Outs - take a short break from betting if you feel you need it.
  • Self-Exclusion - block access to betting accounts for a longer period if gambling has become a problem.
  • Reality Checks - set reminders to track how long you have been betting.
