Five Settings

From Guesswork to Certainty

Read once and you will know which control to switch on, and when.

When Spending Surprises You

Set a ceiling on what you pay in, chosen before play rather than after a loss; switch it on once your spending starts to surprise you.

What Halts a Losing Run?

Cap what you are willing to lose in a set window, so a bad run cannot decide your evening; switch it on before the first bet.

How Long Have I Played?

Pick how often a reminder appears while you play, so a long sitting becomes visible rather than silent; switch it on if hours slip past unnoticed.

Closing the Account Door

Close your account to play for a chosen length, so the door stays shut; switch it on when a brief pause feels too easy to reverse.

Staying Aware of Time

Have a summary of your session appear at intervals you set, showing time spent and money staked; switch it on before the screen blurs.

Setting Limits

From Vague Intent to a Firm Number

Follow four short steps to turn a vague intention into a limit that is live on your account.

Right Account, Right Controls

Open the profile menu from the top of the screen and check that you are in your own account, not a shared device.

The Right Kind of Cap

Choose deposit, loss or session time, and match the choice to the habit that worries you most before you save anything.

Budget First, Figure Second

Pick the period that fits your budget, and remember the figure is chosen before play rather than in the middle of a losing run.

After the Save

Confirm the change, then find the figure in your account summary, so nothing is left to memory when the next session starts.

Days Away or Months Away

Account Settings Pause. Ask for a time-out in your account and name the length yourself, so play and deposits stop while it runs. Access returns on its own when that period ends, and nothing else in your account changes.

When Breaks Stop Working. Set self-exclusion in your account and access closes for a long fixed term that nobody can lift early. Logins, deposits and play all stop for the whole stretch the term specifies.

One Sign-Up, Every Site. Register once with GAMSTOP, the national exclusion register run by The National Online Self Exclusion Scheme Limited, and every UK-licensed site shuts for at least six months. Email confirmation follows, with activation inside a day. gamstop.co.uk

Someone Listening

Who Do You Call After Hours?

We keep these contacts visible because asking early beats waiting until it hurts.

National Gambling Helpline (GamCare)

Ring the National Gambling Helpline free at any hour for players and relatives. Advisers talk by phone or live chat, confidentially, and point to local help. 0808 8020 133 gamcare.org.uk

Gamblers Anonymous

Join a Gamblers Anonymous meeting, free and peer-led, with mixed meetings for players and relatives, no appointment needed. Turn up, listen, and speak if you wish. gamblersanonymous.org.uk

Clarity Arrives Before the Harm Does

Catching these shifts early keeps a hobby from turning into a habit you no longer choose. Set a spending cap now, while you are calm and clear-headed, then treat a pause as the first move if play starts to feel like pressure.

Read through these and ask yourself which ones sound familiar from the last month.

Worried About a Young Player at Home

When You Register. Register once and the age check runs before the account opens, so only players of eighteen or over get through. Proof of identity must clear before your first withdrawal leaves.

The Shared Family Phone. Install filtering software on every shared device so gambling sites stay closed to young eyes. Set it up yourself, keep the passcode private, and review the settings as children grow.

When a Friend Is Struggling. Start the conversation with care rather than accusation, and keep the cost, not the person, in view. The National Gambling Helpline advises relatives too, free and around the clock.

Cover When Unsure

Where do I set limits on my phone?

Use this block when a decision about limits or time away feels unclear and you need it settled quickly.

Where do I set limits from my phone?+

Open the account section of the mobile site and you will find the same controls as on desktop. Deposit limits, loss limits and session reminders sit together on one screen. The layout shrinks to one column, so each field stays easy to tap.

Can I change a limit after I have set one?+

You can adjust it later in that same account section. Only a weaker cap takes effect straight away; any raise is held back so the decision is never made in the heat of a session. Plan the figure before you play, not after a loss.

Who advises relatives of someone gambling too much?+

The National Gambling Helpline at 0808 8020 133 takes calls from family and friends as well as players, day or night and free of charge. Staff there can point you to local support. Gamblers Anonymous also runs meetings for relatives and friends.

Why does the casino ask for my age?+

Age checks protect minors, and only players aged 18 or over may hold an account here. Send the proof of identity we ask for and the check is completed, usually within 56 hours. Until then, withdrawals stay on hold.

What does a pause stop, and when can I play again?+

A pause blocks your access for the fixed stretch you choose and takes effect when you confirm it. Until that stretch ends, no deposit or game will open for you. Once it expires, access returns on its own.

Is there any way to end a self-exclusion early?+

No. Self-exclusion runs for the whole period you selected and cannot be lifted before it ends, so pick a stretch you can honour. GAMSTOP works the same way, with options from six months upwards.
