Give yourself permission to stop before a session becomes a problem. Gambling is entertainment with uncertain outcomes, and a bonus does not make money safer to risk. Only take part if you are 18 or over and can afford the amount you choose.
Choose a Limit or a Break
A deposit limit helps you keep spending within a decision made before play. Cooling-off creates space away from gambling. Temporary or permanent self-exclusion provides a stronger boundary when continued access is not helpful. Contact our team to discuss the protection you need.
Do not raise spending to meet a loyalty threshold or recover a loss. Keep household expenses outside your gambling budget. If a promotion encourages spending you had not planned, let the promotion go rather than changing your financial priorities.
Understand the GAMSTOP Gap
We are not licensed by the UK Gambling Commission and not part of GAMSTOP. Registration with that scheme does not extend its coverage to our service. If you use GAMSTOP, consider direct exclusion with us and blocking tools rather than assuming you are protected here.
Gamban and other blocking software can help restrict access across devices. Think about every phone, tablet or computer you can use when choosing that additional protection.
Act on Changes in Behaviour
Borrowing to gamble, hiding spending, chasing losses or feeling unable to stop deserve attention. So do interrupted sleep, arguments about money and using money reserved for essentials. You do not have to wait until these signs become severe before asking for help.
Independent Support Options
GamCare's National Gambling Helpline can be reached on 0808 8020 133. GambleAware provides guidance and routes towards support. Gordon Moody offers recovery support, while Gamblers Anonymous offers peer support.
Choose whichever first contact feels manageable. If gambling is affecting someone close to you, seek support for yourself as well; their account decision is not something you must handle alone.
