ScoutD

    Responsible gambling

    Betting should be entertainment you can afford. ScoutD exists to help you think before you stake — not to encourage you to stake more.

    Keep it in control

    • Set a budget before you start and treat it as spent.
    • Never chase losses — a losing run is not a reason to increase your stake.
    • Take regular breaks and use your bookmaker's deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion tools.

    Warning signs

    • Betting more than you planned, hiding it from people close to you, borrowing to bet, or feeling unable to stop are all signs to reach out. Support is free and confidential.
