Responsible Gambling

18+ Only

Only adults aged 18 and over may use UK-licensed online casino sites. It is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to gamble online in the United Kingdom. Please verify that online gambling is legal in your jurisdiction and that you meet all legal requirements before playing.

If you are under 18, please do not use this website or any online casino services.

Signs of Problem Gambling

Gambling can become a problem if it starts to affect your daily life, relationships, or finances. Warning signs may include:

• Spending more time or money on gambling than you intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to try to win back money
• Feeling anxious, depressed, or irritable when not gambling
• Lying to family or friends about gambling
• Neglecting work, school, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
• Feeling unable to stop or control your gambling

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available.

Practical Tips for Responsible Play

If you choose to play at online casinos, here are some practical steps to help you gamble responsibly:

• Set time limits: Decide how long you will play before you start, and stick to it.
• Set deposit limits: Only deposit money you can afford to lose. Many operators offer tools to set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits.
• Never chase losses: If you lose, do not try to win your money back by gambling more. Losses are part of gambling.
• Take regular breaks: Step away from gambling regularly to maintain perspective.
• Never gamble when emotional: Avoid gambling when you are upset, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Keep track of spending: Monitor how much you spend on gambling and ensure it stays within your budget.
• Balance gambling with other activities: Make sure gambling does not become your only form of entertainment.

Self-Exclusion and Limit Tools

Most UK-licensed casino operators provide tools to help you control your gambling:

• Deposit limits: Set limits on how much you can deposit over a specific period.
• Time limits: Set limits on how long you can play in a session.
• Loss limits: Set limits on how much you can lose in a given period.
• Self-exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling sites.
• Reality checks: Receive reminders about how long you have been playing.

These tools are usually available in your account settings on the operator's website. If you need help finding them, contact the operator's customer support.

GAMSTOP – UK Self-Exclusion Scheme

GAMSTOP is a free service that allows you to self-exclude from all UK-licensed online gambling sites for a period of your choice (6 months, 1 year, or 5 years). Once you register with GAMSTOP, UK-licensed operators are required to prevent you from accessing their services.

GAMSTOP is free, confidential, and can be used alongside operator-specific self-exclusion tools.
