Responsible Gambling

Last updated: 11 May 2026

Gambling should be entertainment, not a way to make money. Stakes you cannot afford to lose, chasing losses, or feeling out of control are signals to stop and ask for help.

Stay in control

• Set a deposit and time limit before you start.
• Never gamble with money you need for essentials.
• Take regular breaks and avoid playing when stressed or tired.
• Don’t try to win back what you have lost.

Operator tools

Every UK-licensed operator must offer deposit limits, reality checks, time-outs and self-exclusion. These can be found in your account settings on the operator’s website.

Free UK support

• GamCare — free advice and a 24/7 helpline.
• GAMSTOP — self-exclude from all UK-licensed gambling sites.
• GambleAware — information, tools and treatment referrals.
• UK Gambling Commission — the regulator for gambling in Great Britain.

Age restriction

You must be 18 or over to gamble in the UK. Underage gambling is a criminal offence.
