Gamble Aware

Racing’s a great day out with brilliant sporting action and the chance to socialise with your mates. Some people also enjoy having a bet at the races but you don’t need to have a flutter to have a great day.

However, if you do have a bet, don’t get into debt!

Responsible betting means staying in control of how much time and money you spend on betting.

Whether you’re putting a 50p each-way bet or you’re sure you’ve found the winner in the big race, betting responsibly means treating the activity as just another form of entertainment and not spending more money or time than you can reasonably afford.
