Responsible Gambling
Last updated: 27 June 2026
Betting should stay fun. PANDAS provides analytical information for adults who choose to bet — it is not a way to make money, and it carries real financial risk. If betting ever stops feeling like entertainment, help is available, free and confidential.

01You must be 18 or over
PANDAS is strictly for adults aged 18 and over (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher). It is never appropriate for minors. If someone under age has access to your account or device, please secure it and contact us.
02Keep it in perspective
Treat betting as paid entertainment, not income. Set a budget you can afford to lose and a time limit before you start, and stick to both. Never bet with money set aside for essentials, and never chase losses. Take regular breaks, and don't bet when you're stressed, upset, or under the influence.
03Recognising the signs of harm
Gambling may be becoming a problem if you notice any of these:
- Betting more than you can comfortably afford to lose.
- Chasing losses, or betting to win back money you've lost.
- Spending more time or money on betting than you intended.
- Borrowing money, selling things, or going without to fund betting.
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you're not betting.
- Hiding your betting from family or friends, or lying about it.
- Betting affecting your work, study, relationships, or sleep.
If any of these feel familiar, you're not alone and support is available. Reaching out early makes a difference.
04Tools that can help
