Responsible Gambling
Gambling should always be fun. If it stops feeling that way, help is available — free, confidential, and always there when you need it.
Stay in Control
Gambling is a form of entertainment — not a way to make money. Most people gamble safely, but for some it can become a problem. Being aware of the signs and knowing where to get help is important.
Signs of Problem Gambling
- Spending more money or time gambling than you intended.
- Chasing losses — trying to win back money you have lost.
- Gambling with money intended for bills, rent, or essential expenses.
- Hiding your gambling from friends or family.
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling.
- Neglecting work, relationships, or other responsibilities because of gambling.
Practical Tools
Most licensed UK casinos offer tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit limits — set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you deposit.
- Loss limits — cap how much you can lose in a given period.
- Session time limits — receive reminders or automatic logouts after a set time.
- Cool-off periods — take a short break from gambling (24 hours to 6 weeks).
- Self-exclusion — exclude yourself from a casino for a minimum of 6 months.
- Reality checks — pop-up reminders showing how long you have been playing.
