Player safety

Responsible gambling

Gambling is entertainment with a built-in house edge — not a reliable income source. If you choose to play at a UK-licensed operator, these tools and organisations exist to help you stay in control.

Setting limits

Every UKGC-licensed site must let you set deposit, loss and session time limits from your account settings. Limits can usually be decreased immediately; increases often carry a cooling-off period of 24 hours or more.

GamStop self-exclusion

GamStop is a free service that blocks access to all UK-licensed gambling sites for six months, one year or five years. Registration at gamstop.co.uk takes a few minutes and cannot be reversed early.

Warning signs

• Spending more than you planned or chasing losses
• Borrowing money or hiding gambling from family
• Neglecting work, study or relationships to gamble
• Feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling
