Responsible Play

Set the rules before you play

All UKGC licensed operators provide tools to help you stay in control. Before making any deposit, configure your deposit limit, loss limit and session timer. These safeguards ensure a momentary lapse does not spiral into a prolonged problem. Limits can be lowered immediately — any increase is subject to a mandatory cooling-off period.

Warning signs

• Wagering more than you can comfortably afford to lose
• Chasing previous losses in an attempt to recover
• Borrowing funds or using credit to place bets
• Being dishonest with loved ones about how much you play
• Feeling anxious or irritable when you try to cut back

If any of these ring true, step away. Make use of the operator's time-out, cooling-off or self-exclusion features, and consider contacting one of the organisations listed below.

Tools you'll find inside every operator we list

• Deposit, loss and wagering limits
• Session duration alerts and enforced breaks
• Reality checks displayed during active play
• Cooling-off periods and self-exclusion options
• Complete account history available upon request

Gambling ought to represent a minor portion of your entertainment spending. Never gamble under the influence of alcohol, when emotionally distressed, or with money earmarked for essential expenses. Support is always available, and seeking help is a mark of courage.
