How to keep gambling a game — limits, blocks, self-exclusion and where to get help.
Adults only
Every casino on this site is for adults. Gambling has a negative expected return by design: over time the house keeps a share of everything wagered, and no bonus, code or strategy on this site changes that. Play with money you can lose without it mattering, and stop when it stops being fun.
18+ | Gambling can be addictive. Please play responsibly.
One of these on its own is a nudge. Several together is a reason to act today.
None of this is a diagnosis. If it sounds familiar, the services below are free, confidential and used to hearing it.
Every tool here works better set in advance than in the middle of a session
Almost every licensed casino lets you cap what you can deposit or lose per day, week or month from account settings. Increases usually take effect only after a delay; decreases take effect immediately.
Set a session timer or a reminder that interrupts play at fixed intervals. It breaks the loop that keeps you in the chair.
A short break — a day up to a few weeks — that locks the account without closing it. Ask support directly if you cannot find it in settings.
Unsubscribe from casino bonus mail and push alerts, and switch off promotional emails in your profile here too.
When a limit is not enough, take the option away entirely
Self-exclusion shuts your account for a fixed period that cannot be shortened by asking nicely. Start with the casino itself: every licensed operator has to offer it, usually from account settings or through support. Then close the door on the rest.
One free registration excludes you from every online operator licensed in Great Britain, for six months, one year or five years.
