Safer gambling
Responsible Gambling
Gambling is not a way to make money. It carries genuine financial risk. If you choose to gamble, do so with money you can afford to lose, within limits you set yourself. If gambling has stopped being enjoyable or is causing financial or emotional harm, support is available.
Setting limits
All UK-licensed operators are required to offer responsible gambling tools, including deposit limits, time limits, cooling- off periods, and self-exclusion. You can access these in your account settings with any licensed operator.
- Set a deposit limit before you start playing.
- Use session time reminders if they are available.
- Take a break if gambling feels less like entertainment.
- Use self-exclusion if you want to stop gambling temporarily or permanently.
Signs to be aware of
- Spending more than you planned or can afford
- Gambling to recover losses
- Hiding gambling from others
- Gambling affecting work, relationships, or health
- Feeling anxious or distressed about gambling
