Use Time Limits
Decide in advance how long you will play. Pause regularly to keep perspective. Where available, use time-out tools to support cooling-off breaks when you feel it’s needed.
Safe & Responsible Gambling
Our approach to encouraging balanced gambling behaviour and pointing users to support resources
Plan a Budget and Keep to It
Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Think of it as a leisure cost rather than an income source. Before you start, set deposit limits with the operator to help manage spending.
Know Where to Get Support
Confidential help is available at any time and is free to access. Specialist organisations can offer self-check tools, counselling options, and treatment routes without judgement.
Notice Early Risk Signals
Watch for signs such as trying to win back losses, keeping gambling hidden, borrowing funds, or ignoring everyday responsibilities. Identifying concerns early can make it easier to act sooner.
Responsible Gambling Tools
Deposit Limits
Choose daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps within operator accounts. Increases are typically delayed by cooling-off rules, helping provide practical control over spending.
Reality Checks
On-screen reminders can show how long you have been playing and what has been wagered. These prompts support awareness and help you make considered decisions during sessions.
Time-Out Periods
Temporarily pause access to an account for a set period, such as 24 hours through to 8 weeks. This can be useful for taking a break without closing the account permanently, and usually starts as soon as it is requested.
Self-Exclusion (GamStop)
A UK-wide self-exclusion option that blocks access to participating licensed operators for a chosen period, typically from 6 months up to 5 years. Once enabled, it remains in place until the selected term ends.
Immediate Support & Helplines
If you are worried about your own gambling, or someone else’s, confidential support can be accessed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
