Responsible gambling, self-exclusion and support

Gambling should be entertainment, not a way out of something difficult. This page collects the tools, limits and free UK support services that genuinely help — plus a plain-English overview of our privacy and cookie practices.

Why this page matters

Every operator featured on this site is licensed in Great Britain, which means they are bound by strict responsible-gambling rules. But rules on paper are only half the picture. The other half is knowing what is available, and using it before you need it.

If you have ever chased a loss, deposited more than you planned, lied about your gambling, or noticed it affecting sleep, relationships or money, please stop reading for a moment and visit BeGambleAware or call GamCare's 24/7 helpline on 0808 8020 133.

Tools you can use today

Deposit limits

Every UK-licensed casino has to offer daily, weekly and monthly deposit limits. Set them on the day you register. Raising a limit is possible but intentionally slow; lowering it takes effect immediately.

Reality checks

A timed reminder that interrupts play after a set interval (usually 30 or 60 minutes), asking whether you want to keep playing or take a break. Always turn this on.

Time-outs

A short, operator-level cooling-off period. You can lock yourself out of a single casino for 24 hours, a week, a month or longer. The account reopens automatically once the period ends.

Self-exclusion via GAMSTOP

Free, and the most powerful tool here. One sign-up at GAMSTOP blocks you from every UK-licensed online gambling site for six months, a year, or five years. The block is technical, not voluntary — you cannot simply un-tick it later in the day.

Warning signs worth taking seriously

  • Spending more than you planned, repeatedly.
  • Chasing losses, or depositing again straight after a loss.
  • Hiding the amount you gamble from people close to you.
  • Borrowing money — including on credit cards or from friends — to keep playing.
  • Feeling restless or irritable when you try to cut back.
  • Gambling to escape stress, low mood or difficult feelings.
Problem gambling is a health issue, not a weakness. The earlier you ask for help, the easier it is to get back in control.
