The Leon-specific trap: tournaments are fun, and a leaderboard is a scoreboard, which is exactly the psychology that turns "one more session" into over-playing to climb a rank. Enjoy free leaderboards on play you were doing anyway; the moment you are adding sessions to move up a board, the board is playing you. Signs: chasing losses, staking beyond plans, hiding play, relief only while playing. Two or more: call the number above.

BetStop, Australia's national self-exclusion register, does not bind offshore casinos, which is why this page leads with bank blocks and blocking software. Limits set at registration plus the bank layer make discipline structural rather than a willpower test.
