Responsible Gambling
Betting is entertainment with a cost attached. It is not an income, a plan, or a way out of a financial problem.
Set limits before you bet
Decide what you can afford to lose in a week, and treat that amount the same way you would treat the cost of a match ticket or a night out. When it is gone, the week is over.
The single most damaging habit in football betting is chasing: increasing your stake to win back a loss. It turns a manageable bad weekend into a serious problem faster than anything else.
Warning signs
- Betting with money set aside for rent, food, school fees or transport
- Borrowing money to bet, or hiding bets from family
- Betting more often or larger amounts to feel the same excitement
- Feeling anxious, irritable or low when you are not betting
- Chasing losses with bigger stakes or riskier accumulators
Getting help
If betting has stopped being entertainment, stop and talk to someone. Speak to a family member you trust, your doctor, or a counsellor. Many people find that simply telling one other person breaks the cycle.
You can also ask CityBet customer support about limiting or closing your account. That option exists and using it is not a failure.
Under 18s
Betting is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. Nothing on this site is intended for anyone under that age.
