Warning signs
No single sign proves a problem. It is worth paying attention when several repeat:
- Playing longer or with more money than you had planned.
- Trying to recover losses by playing more.
- Hiding from family or friends how much time or money you spend.
- Feeling irritable or anxious when you try to cut down or stop.
- Neglecting responsibilities in order to keep playing.
Tools in your operator account
Licensed operators provide tools such as deposit and play limits, pause and self-exclusion. The detail varies by operator: see each operator's fact sheet and its responsible gambling page. Set limits before you play, not after.
Self-exclusion
Self-exclusion blocks access to gambling. Find out more and request it on the official SRIJ page: Autoexclusão e proibição (in Portuguese).
