Responsible Gambling

Responsible Gambling

Gambling is entertainment. It carries real financial risk and it is not a reliable way to make money. If it stops feeling like entertainment, that is the signal to stop — and this page exists to help you do that.

Know the Warning Signs

Problem gambling rarely announces itself. It tends to develop gradually. The following are recognised signs that gambling may be becoming harmful:

  • Spending more time or money than you intended
  • Chasing losses — continuing to play to try to win back what you’ve lost
  • Gambling with money set aside for bills, rent, or essentials
  • Lying to people close to you about how much you gamble or how much you’ve lost
  • Feeling anxious or irritable when you’re not gambling
  • Neglecting work, relationships, or responsibilities
  • Borrowing money or selling things to fund sessions
  • Using gambling to deal with stress, low mood, or difficult emotions

If any of these apply to you, the tools and resources below are a good place to start.

Tools Available at Licensed Casinos

Every properly licensed casino is required to offer the following tools in your account settings. Use them proactively — you don’t need to be in crisis for them to be useful.

  • Deposit limits — cap how much you can deposit daily, weekly, or monthly. Reductions take effect immediately.
  • Loss limits — restrict how much you can lose within a set period.
  • Session time limits — set a maximum session length before automatic logout.
  • Reality checks — on-screen reminders showing how long you’ve been playing and how much you’ve spent.
  • Cool-off periods — short account suspensions, typically 24 hours to 6 weeks.
  • Self-exclusion — close your account for a minimum of 6 months, or permanently. The casino must stop all marketing to you during this period.

National Self-Exclusion Schemes

  • GamStop (UK) — gamstop.co.uk — blocks you from all UK-licensed gambling sites in one step
  • GAMBAN — gamban.com — device-level blocking software, works globally across all devices
