18+ · Gamble responsibly

Gambling is a paid form of entertainment, not a way to make money. Keep it fun by setting limits before you play and pausing when it stops feeling like a choice. If gambling is affecting you or someone close to you, free and confidential help is available now.

The tools available to you

• Deposit limits — cap how much you can deposit over a day, week or month.
• Reality checks — an on-screen reminder showing time and spend.
• Time-outs — a short break from the account.
• Self-exclusion — a longer block, typically six months or more.
• GAMSTOP — the free UK-wide self-exclusion scheme across licensed sites.

Signs it may be time to take a break

• Chasing losses or spending more than you planned.
• Thinking about gambling when you are meant to be doing other things.
• Hiding your play or feeling unable to stop.

Any one of these is reason enough to use the tools above or speak to someone. Support is available whether or not you have lost money.
