Responsible Gambling

Gambling should always be treated as a form of entertainment, not as a way to make money. Outcomes are uncertain and you should only ever gamble with money you can afford to lose. This page provides information and resources to help you stay in control.

Set Your Limits

Before you start playing, decide how much money and time you are willing to spend. Every UK-licensed casino is required to offer deposit limits, session time reminders and cooling-off periods.

  • Set a daily, weekly or monthly deposit limit in your casino account settings
  • Use session time reminders to track how long you have been playing
  • Take regular breaks and never chase losses
  • Never borrow money to gamble

Warning Signs

It can be difficult to recognise when gambling is becoming a problem. Consider seeking help if you:

  • Spend more money or time gambling than you planned
  • Feel anxious or irritable when not gambling
  • Chase losses by increasing your stakes
  • Neglect work, relationships or responsibilities due to gambling
  • Borrow money or sell possessions to fund gambling
  • Lie to family or friends about your gambling

If any of these apply to you, please reach out to the support organisations listed below. Help is available and confidential.

Self-Exclusion

If you need to take a break from gambling, you can self-exclude from all UK-licensed online gambling sites through GamStop. This is a free service that allows you to restrict your access for a minimum of six months.

Register with GamStop — Free national self-exclusion scheme for online gambling in Great Britain.

You can also contact individual operators directly to self-exclude from their platform, or speak to their customer support teams about setting account restrictions.
