Set Clear Money Boundaries
Decide how much you can afford before starting. Treat that amount as entertainment spending, not money needed elsewhere. A planned budget can help separate gambling from household priorities and unexpected costs.
Keep housing, bills, food, transport, debt payments and other essential expenses separate. Review your total gambling spending regularly, rather than focusing on one transaction or one session.
- Set a personal spending limit before gambling;
- Keep essential money away from gambling funds;
- Avoid increasing planned spending after losses;
- Stop when the amount set aside has been used.
Never Gamble With Borrowed Money
Borrowing to continue gambling can increase financial pressure. It can also make losses harder to assess clearly. Gambling should not rely on loans, credit, money from friends or funds intended for other purposes.
If your planned amount is gone, adding borrowed money changes the original boundary. Creating distance from gambling is safer than finding another source of funds to continue.
Plan Time Before You Start
Money is only one boundary. Decide how long you intend to spend before a session begins. Take breaks and stop when your planned time ends, even if the session feels unfinished.
Repeatedly extending a session can make gambling take more time than expected. Notice whether it begins to affect sleep, work, study, relationships or other important commitments.
- Choose a clear finishing time;
- Take regular breaks away from the screen;
- Avoid extending sessions repeatedly;
- Stop if gambling displaces sleep or responsibilities.
Do Not Chase Losses
Losses can create a strong desire to continue. Gambling mainly to recover earlier losses may lead to further spending and larger losses. Previous results do not create a reliable reason to increase stakes.
When this pattern appears, stop the current session and create distance. Review what has already been spent instead of trying to reverse it immediately.
Notice Changes In Your Behaviour
Gambling can become harder to manage gradually. A change does not prove a specific problem, but it may be worth noticing. It can also be a reason to pause and review recent spending, time and feelings.
- Spending more than you intended;
- Gambling longer than planned;
- Repeatedly trying to recover losses;
- Borrowing money to continue;
- Hiding gambling activity from others;
- Missing responsibilities or feeling frequent stress.
Finding it harder to stop is another useful warning sign. Speaking with someone you trust can make these changes easier to discuss without judgement.
Take A Longer Pause When Needed
Ending a session is one immediate step. A longer voluntary pause can create more distance when gambling has become a frequent concern. Use that time to review recent activity and consider what has changed.
Self-exclusion is a general stronger restriction concept that can limit access for a chosen period. Processes and conditions vary between services. Do not assume that a restriction can be cancelled, shortened or reactivated in a particular way.
- End the current gambling session;
- Review recent spending, time and behaviour;
- Choose a longer pause if more distance is needed;
- Speak with someone trusted or an appropriate qualified support service.
Keep Access Away From Minors
Account access should not be shared. Keep credentials private and avoid leaving authenticated sessions available on devices that other people can use.
Appropriate device restrictions may provide an additional practical barrier where useful. Adults should also consider who can see account details, saved passwords or payment information.
Choose Support Without Delay
Speaking with a trusted person can help you describe what is happening. An appropriate qualified support service or gambling-support organisation may offer more specialised guidance.
For general Lucky Ones account questions, the available contact routes are Live chat and email. The general support email is support@luckyones.com. These are general contact channels, not evidence of dedicated Responsible Gaming services.

Review Your Plan Regularly
Responsible gambling decisions benefit from regular review. Look at the time and money involved across several sessions, not just the latest result. This can show patterns that are easy to miss during play.
Ask whether gambling still fits within your budget and routine. If the answer is unclear, stopping and creating more distance can provide time for a calmer decision.
- Review spending across recent sessions;
- Compare gambling time with your normal commitments;
- Notice changes in mood, secrecy or stress;
- Discuss concerns with someone you trust;
- Seek appropriate qualified support when managing it becomes difficult.
