How can I control my gambling?

Gambling can be a lot of fun. However, it is best to set a limit for the time and amount of money you spend on gambling. Usually, that should be enough to keep the gambling under control. In some cases, some additional measures should be taken. To help you, your friend, or a loved one overcome gambling addiction, you can set up spending limits on your Revolut card. Feel free to contact our in-app support to provide you with guidance on how to set this up.
