What can I do if I think I may be gambling too much?

If you have any concerns about whether you are gambling too much or if you feel like you might be going over the edge, think very carefully about what you should do next and whether you should continue gambling.

• Consider how to use our financial limit functionality.
• Set a 'timeout' to give you a 24 hour, 48 hour, 72 hour, 7 day or 30 day window from using your Betfair account.  
• Please see our Gamble Responsibly information page for more information and advice on how to gamble responsibly.
• Consider taking a break from betting or setting up a self-exclusion.
• Contact a professional for advice, such as Gordon Moody ( https://www.gamblingtherapy.org/pt-br/ ); they provide support and advice for anyone negatively affected by gambling.
• If you feel that gambling has begun to negatively affect your life or is becoming a concern, the centralized self-exclusion system for betting sites is an important tool for you to regain control of the situation. This platform, developed by the Federal Government through the Secretariat of Prizes and Bets of the Ministry of Finance (SPA-MF), allows you to block your access to all federally authorized betting sites for a minimum period of 1 (one) month, to prevent financial and health damage, providing an opportunity for reflection, seeking well-being, and taking care of your emotional and financial health.
  
  
  How do I use the centralised self-exclusion service?
  Log in using your Gov.br account (silver or gold), choose the timeframe (fixed or indefinite), and accept the system terms.

All information about the new centralized self-exclusion mechanism is available on the Autoexclusão portal.
