Responsible Gambling & Player Protection
Gambling should always be an enjoyable form of entertainment. We advocate for responsible play and provide resources to ensure you stay in complete control.
Need Immediate, Confidential Support?
If you or someone you know is experiencing difficulties with gambling, compassionate and free support is available across the UK 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
What is GamStop?
GamStop is the UK’s centralized, free self-exclusion scheme. By registering with GamStop, you can exclude yourself from all online gambling companies licensed by the UK Gambling Commission for a period of 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years.
Once active, participating UK operators will cancel active marketing and prevent you from accessing existing accounts or registering new ones.
In-Account Safer Gambling Tools
Every casino licensed by the UKGC must provide built-in tools to help players manage their activity:
Reality Checks
Automated pop-up notifications displaying how long you have been logged in and your current win/loss status.
Session Time Limits
Set predetermined play durations that automatically log you out once your limit is reached.
Time-Out / Cooling Off
Temporarily lock your account for periods ranging from 24 hours up to 6 weeks.
Account Limits
Establish personal play limits on a daily, weekly, or monthly cycle to prevent overspending.
Self-Assessment Check
- •Do you ever gamble longer than you intended or find it difficult to stop?
- •Do you gamble to escape stress, boredom, or negative emotions?
- •Do you attempt to chase previous losses by placing larger wagers?
- •Has gambling caused arguments with family, friends, or colleagues?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, please consider speaking confidentially to an advisor at BeGambleAware.org or calling 0808 8020 133.
