Responsible Gambling
Gambling should be a fun and entertaining activity. When it stops being fun, support is always available. Read our safety guide and access tools to stay in control.
Crucial Warning Signs
Problem gambling can develop gradually. It is important to monitor your habits and recognize signs of addiction early. If you answer "yes" to any of the self-assessment questions below, we recommend using self-exclusion tools or contacting support.
Self-Assessment Questionnaire
Do you gamble with money you cannot afford to lose?
Do you feel the need to gamble with larger amounts of money to get the same excitement?
Have you tried to win back money you have lost (chasing losses)?
Have you ever borrowed money or sold items to finance your gambling?
Does gambling cause you stress, anxiety, or relationship issues?
Do you hide the extent of your gambling from family or friends?
Safeguard Tools in UK Casinos
By UKGC law, all licensed online casinos must offer you free access to these tools. Use them to manage your gameplay:
Deposit Limits
Set a cap on the maximum amount of money you can deposit into your casino account over a day, week, or month. This prevents impulsive overspending.
Time-Out (Cool-Off)
Take a short-term break from your casino account, ranging from 24 hours to six weeks. During this period, you will be blocked from logging in or placing bets.
Reality Checks
Configure periodic pop-up alerts during your session. These alerts remind you how long you have been logged in and show your total spending.
Self-Exclusion
A formal process to shut down your accounts across all licensed gambling sites for a longer period (six months, one year, or five years).
GAMSTOP Self-Exclusion
