Set a boundary before starting
Choose an amount you can afford to lose and a time to finish. Keep essential spending separate. A loss is not a reason to increase your next stake.
Use account controls
Look for deposit limits, time reminders, breaks and self-exclusion in your operator account. Contact support if you cannot find them. Opening another account is not a solution to a gambling problem.

Your question, answered
Can I seek help before I have large losses?
Yes. Worry about your gambling, difficulty stopping or hiding your activity are enough reasons to reach out for support.
