Responsible Gambling

Safer Gambling Tools

All UK-licensed casinos must provide tools to help you stay in control. These include deposit limits (daily, weekly, or monthly caps on how much you can deposit), loss limits, session time limits, and reality checks that remind you how long you've been playing.

You can access these tools from your account settings or the responsible gambling section of any UKGC-licensed site. Setting a limit is instant, while increasing one usually involves a 24-hour cooling-off period.

Self-Exclusion & GamStop

If you want to take a break or stop gambling entirely, you can self-exclude. This closes your account for a set period (usually a minimum of 6 months) and prevents you from reopening it until that time has passed.

GamStop is the UK's national self-exclusion scheme. If you sign up, you're automatically blocked from all UKGC-licensed gambling sites for 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years. It's free, confidential, and covers every operator licensed in Great Britain.

You can register for GamStop at gamstop.co.uk. Once you're on the register, licensed operators will block your access within 24 hours.

Warning Signs

Gambling may be becoming a problem if you:

• Spend more time or money gambling than you intended
• Chase losses by betting more to win back what you've lost
• Borrow money to gamble or struggle to pay bills because of gambling
• Feel anxious, irritable, or restless when you're not gambling
• Lie to family or friends about how much you gamble
• Neglect work, relationships, or other responsibilities because of gambling

If any of these apply to you, it's worth reaching out to one of the support services below. They're free, confidential, and staffed by people who understand gambling harm.
