Safer gambling

WhoIsTheRef shows referee statistics and probabilities worked out from past matches. They are estimates, not predictions you can rely on, and they lose often. WhoIsTheRef is for adults aged 18 and over.

Keep it fun

Only bet money you can afford to lose, and set a budget before you start.
Never chase losses or bet to win back money.
Don't bet when you're stressed, low, or have been drinking.
Take breaks, and keep betting separate from bills and savings.

Signs it might be becoming a problem

Spending more time or money than you meant to, or borrowing to bet.
Feeling anxious, irritable or guilty about betting, or hiding it from people close to you.
Betting is affecting your sleep, work, studies or relationships.
