Think of every deposit as the price of an evening's entertainment. Decide the figure before you start, and never top it up to win back what has gone. Only adults of 18 or over may hold an account.
Controls you can switch on
- Deposit limits: a ceiling for a day, a week or a month, chosen by you.
- Time-outs: a short pause that locks the account until it ends.
- Self-exclusion: a longer closure that cannot be lifted early.
Switch them on in your account, or message our support team by live chat or e-mail support and we will set them up for you.
What being outside GAMSTOP means
GAMSTOP is the UK's national self-exclusion scheme. Our licence comes from Anjouan, so we are not part of it, and a GAMSTOP registration will not stop an account being opened here. If you have signed up to GAMSTOP, please keep away from our games and ask us for an exclusion too.
Software that shuts the door
Gamban is a blocker you can put on a phone, tablet or laptop. It keeps gambling websites and apps from opening, offshore ones such as ours included.
Signs it is time to stop
Chasing losses, using money meant for rent or bills, borrowing to keep playing, keeping your gambling secret and feeling on edge when you are not gambling are all reasons to pause.
Where to find free help
- GamCare: its National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133 costs nothing to ring.
- GambleAware: information, a self-check and a path into treatment.
- Gordon Moody: recovery support, both residential and online.
- Gamblers Anonymous: peer groups that meet locally and online.
These services are confidential and free of charge. You can reach out to any of them before a problem feels serious, and you do not need to have stopped gambling first.
