Gambling is entertainment you pay for. It is not a way to earn money or to fix a money problem, and it should stop the moment it feels like either.
Before You Play
Decide what you can afford to lose and how long you want to play, then stick to both. Treat any loss as the price of the session, and never try to win it back.
Tools We Can Set for You
Ask our live chat team and we will put any of these on your account:
- A deposit limit, so you cannot pay in more than you planned.
- A cooling-off break, after which access returns by itself.
- Self-exclusion, a longer block for when a break is not enough.
GAMSTOP and Us
We are not licensed by the UK Gambling Commission and not part of GAMSTOP. A GAMSTOP registration will not close an account with us, so ask for our own self-exclusion too, and think about blocking software such as Gamban on every device you use.
Signs to Act On
- Raising stakes or depositing again to chase a loss.
- Using money meant for bills, or borrowing to keep playing.
- Playing longer than you meant to, or hiding it from people close to you.
- Feeling anxious or irritable when you are not playing.
Keeping Under-18s Out
Only people aged 18 or over may hold an account. Keep your login private and lock any device a child could pick up.
