Responsible Gambling
Gambling should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to make money. We are committed to promoting responsible gambling and providing resources to help you stay in control.
Gambling Responsibly
- •Only gamble with money you can afford to lose
- •Set deposit limits and stick to them
- •Never chase your losses
- •Take regular breaks from gambling
- •Don't gamble when you're upset, stressed, or under the influence
- •Keep gambling fun - if it stops being enjoyable, take a break
Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Here are some warning signs to watch for:
- •Spending more money or time gambling than you can afford
- •Feeling the need to be secretive about your gambling
- •Having difficulty controlling or stopping your gambling
- •Gambling when you can't afford it or to escape problems
- •Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
- •Neglecting work, family, or social commitments due to gambling
Self-Exclusion Tools
If you feel you need to take a break from gambling, UK casinos offer several self-exclusion options:
- •Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit
- •Time Limits: Restrict how long you can play in a single session
- •Reality Checks: Receive reminders about how long you've been playing
- •Self-Exclusion: Block access to your account for a set period (6 months to 5 years)
- •GamStop: Exclude yourself from all UKGC-licensed online gambling sites
