Research your bets
Research is fun. People enjoy challenging themselves to find the right answer. It’s an opportunity to pursue your interests and test yourself.
Whether you’re learning something new or building your skills, the more information you have the better informed your decisions will be.
Pick the right betting market
With such a variety of markets to bet on, it is important you choose wisely. Use your experience and research to focus on markets you are familiar with.
The knowledge you have of a market will enable you to make more informed decisions when placing a bet.
Using account limits
Using the account limits on offer is a great way to mitigate risks. If you have set yourself a budget, using a deposit limit will ensure you use that budget as you intended.
Your budget may change from month to month so it is important you are regularly reviewing your limits. The best players are the most responsible players and we encourage everyone to be proud to have these in place.
Setting Long term goals
Betting should be viewed as a form of entertainment and something which enhances your spectator experience.
Identifying what you want to achieve from betting will support that. If you are using betting to enhance you experience of a certain sport, focus on that and tools within your account can help you achieve this.
