We at Tote always encourage a socially responsible attitude within the betting industry. Our goal is to help customers gain maximum enjoyment from their betting.
Whilst for the majority of our customers gambling is an enjoyable leisure activity, we realise that some people’s gambling can get out of control, cease to become enjoyable and lead to financial difficulties. If any of our customers feel like they are losing control, we’ll help them get the support they need.
If you believe you may have a problem with gambling, or know someone who does, please seek help with the below confidential organisations. They will offer you the right support and help you combat this problem.
If you live in Ireland there are several support organisations who can offer help online, by phone or face-to-face. You can access this information by visiting Gamblingcare.ie

(b) If a greyhound turns while the hare is in motion the hare should not be stopped and the traps should be released.
