Responsible Gaming

Gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to make money. If it stops being fun, it's time to stop. We're committed to helping players gamble responsibly and providing resources for those who need support.

Remember: The house always has an edge. Most players lose money in the long run. Gambling should never be seen as a source of income.

Best Practices

Tips for Responsible Gambling

Set a Budget

Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Set a strict limit before you start and never exceed it.

Understand the Odds

Know that the house always has an edge. No system can beat mathematics in the long run.

Set Time Limits

Decide how long you'll play before starting. Set an alarm and stop when it goes off.

Never Chase Losses

Accept losses as the cost of entertainment. Chasing losses leads to bigger losses.

Keep It Fun

Stop when gambling stops being enjoyable. It's meant to be entertainment, not stress.

Don't Gamble When Upset

Emotional decision-making leads to poor choices. Only gamble when you're calm and clear-headed.

Tell Someone

Share your limits with a trusted friend or family member who can help you stay accountable.

Know When to Seek Help

If gambling is causing problems in your life, reach out to professional support services.

Self-Exclusion

Take a Break from Gambling

Self-exclusion is a voluntary process where you ask a gambling company to exclude you from gambling for a set period of time.

Individual Casino Self-Exclusion

Most online casinos offer self-exclusion options directly. Look for responsible gaming settings in your account where you can set deposit limits, loss limits, session time limits, or completely self-exclude for periods ranging from 6 months to permanent.

Contact the casino's support team for assistance with self-exclusion.

Multi-Operator Self-Exclusion (UK)

GamStop allows you to self-exclude from all UK-licensed online gambling companies in one registration. Once registered, gambling sites will block your access for your chosen period (6 months, 1 year, or 5 years).
