Set hard limits
Choose affordable deposit, loss and time limits first.
Make one safer decision before you play.
Set limits while calm, know how to take a break and never treat gambling as income or a way to recover losses.
Stop first. Decide later.
This page is deliberately separated from promotions. It gives practical actions for limiting access, spending and harm before any operator comparison.
Take a time-out
Use operator and device blocking tools to create distance.
Self-exclude
Use local multi-operator schemes where available.
Get independent help
Support and debt advice are most useful before a crisis.
Stop, block access to gambling services, contact someone you trust and use an independent support service available in Egypt. If you are in immediate danger, contact local emergency services.
60-SECOND SELF-CHECK
Pause if any answer is “yes”.
This is not a diagnosis. It is a prompt to stop and seek independent support before the situation becomes harder to manage.
- Have I spent essential money or hidden my spending?
- Am I chasing a loss or increasing stakes to change my mood?
- Have gambling sessions affected sleep, work or relationships?
- Would I feel uncomfortable showing these transactions to someone I trust?
