Your wellbeing is our priority. Learn how to gamble safely and access support when you need it.
Gaming Tools & Controls
Take control of your gaming experience with these industry-standard tools available at all UK-licensed casinos
Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit. Limits can be decreased immediately but increases require a 24-48 hour cooling-off period.
Session Limits
Control how long you spend gaming in a single session. The system will automatically log you out when your time limit is reached.
Loss Limits
Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose. When reached, you'll be prevented from further gambling to help prevent chasing losses.
Reality Checks
Receive pop-up reminders showing how long you've been playing and how much you've spent during your session.
Time-Out
Take a temporary break from gambling for 24 hours, 48 hours, one week, or one month. Your account will be inaccessible during this time.
Self-Exclusion
Completely block yourself from all gambling activities for 6 months to 5 years through GAMSTOP. Cannot be reversed once activated.
How to Set These Tools
All UK-licensed casinos are required to offer these responsible gaming tools. You can find them in your account settings under "Responsible Gaming" or "Account Limits".

Principles of Responsible Gaming
Maintaining control over your gambling activities ensures they remain fun and recreational.
Set Time Limits
Decide how long you want to play before you start. Set an alarm and stick to it. Gaming should never interfere with work, family, or other important activities.
Set Your Budget
Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Set a strict budget and never chase losses. Think of gambling as paying for entertainment, not as a way to make money.
Take Regular Breaks
Step away from gaming regularly. Use this time to assess your mood, spending, and whether you're still having fun. If you're frustrated or trying to win back losses, it's time to stop.
Play with Clear Mind
Don't use gambling to escape problems or negative emotions. Gaming should only be done when you're in a positive mindset and making clear-headed decisions.
Keep it Social
Gaming should be social and fun. If you find yourself hiding your gambling from friends and family, or lying about your spending, it may be time to seek help.
Understand the Odds
Understand that the house always has an edge. Casinos are businesses designed to make profit. Don't expect to win, and celebrate any wins as bonus entertainment.
