Responsible gambling

Gambling should be entertainment, not a way to make money. The house always holds a mathematical edge over time, and chasing losses rarely ends well. If play stops feeling fun, step away and use the tools below.

Tools available on UK-licensed sites

  • Deposit limits: cap how much you can add to your account daily, weekly or monthly.
  • Loss limits: stop play once you reach a set loss threshold within a period.
  • Session reminders: alerts after a chosen time on site.
  • Cool-off periods: temporary account suspension from 24 hours to several weeks.
  • Self-exclusion: block access to a single operator for six months or longer.

GamStop — UK-wide self-exclusion

GamStop covers all UKGC-licensed online operators. Register at gamstop.co.uk and choose a block of six months, one year or five years. During that period, participating sites must refuse new accounts and close marketing to you.
