DoubleOrBust is for adults aged 18 and over. Trading on a betting exchange is gambling: every unmatched dob loses its stake, and losses can add up quickly in-running when prices move fast.
Staying in control
- Only use money you can afford to lose, and decide your limit before you start.
- Use your account's deposit limits, reality checks and time-outs.
- Don't chase losses, and don't trade when you're stressed, tired or have been drinking.
- Treat the numbers here as history, not as a reason to bet more.
