Responsible Gaming

Gambling should be enjoyable and optional. These tools and resources help you set boundaries, recognise risks, and get support if you need it.

Account controls

  • Deposit limits. Set daily/weekly/monthly caps to manage spend.
  • Time reminders. On-site session reminders help break up long play.
  • Time-out. Take a short break (e.g., 24 hours to several weeks).
  • Self-exclusion. Block access for 6+ months via the operator or GAMSTOP (national scheme).

Practical tips

  • Decide a budget and time window before you start—and stick to it.
  • Don’t chase losses. Pause and reassess if you exceed your limits.
  • Keep gambling separate from essential expenses and savings.
  • Play when you feel calm, not as a way to manage stress or boredom.

Independent support

If you’re worried about your gambling or someone else’s, free confidential help is available:

  • GamCare — advice, live chat, and counselling.
  • GAMSTOP — free national self-exclusion (GB).
  • BeGambleAware — information and helpline 0808 8020 133.

Recognising risk

  • Spending more time or money than planned.
  • Hiding activity from friends or family.
  • Feeling stressed, irritable, or chasing losses.
  • Using gambling to escape problems or difficult feelings.

If these sound familiar, consider taking a break and speaking to an adviser.
