Safer gambling

Responsible gambling

Gambling is entertainment with a built-in house edge — not a way to fix bills or earn side income. If you are spending more than you planned, hiding sessions from people close to you, or chasing losses, stop and use the resources below. They are free and confidential.

GamStop — block all UK sites at once

GamStop is the national self-exclusion scheme. Once registered, you cannot open new accounts or gamble on existing ones with any UKGC-licensed remote operator for the period you choose: six months, one year or five years. Registration takes a few minutes; exclusion begins within 24 hours.

Deposit and time limits

Every licensed operator must offer deposit limits, reality checks and session timers inside your account. Set these before you deposit, not after a bad run. Limits on Casumo or LeoVegas can be lowered instantly; raising them usually triggers a cooling-off period — that delay is deliberate.
