Treat gambling as a pastime you pay for, inside a budget fixed before you start, and never as income or as a way to recover what is gone.
Our tools
- Deposit limits: a ceiling you choose on the money you pay in.
- Time-outs: a pause on the account for a period you pick.
- Self-exclusion: a longer closure for when a pause will not do.
Switch any of them on from your account, or have live chat or e-mail support do it for you.
Why GAMSTOP does not cover us
GAMSTOP is the self-exclusion scheme covering sites licensed by the UK Gambling Commission. Our licence is offshore, so a GAMSTOP registration leaves this account untouched. If you have excluded yourself through GAMSTOP, please keep clear of our games and have support shut your account here too.
Blocking software
Gamban stops gambling sites and apps from opening on your devices, whether or not a site belongs to GAMSTOP. Paired with our own self-exclusion it gives you a second lock, and it earns its keep in the first weeks after you decide to stop, when the pull is strongest.
Warning signs
- Spending more than you meant to, or playing more often.
- Raising stakes to chase money already lost.
- Borrowing, or hiding your play from the people around you.
- Feeling restless or low on days you cannot gamble.
Where to get help
- National Gambling Helpline, run by GamCare: 0808 8020 133.
- GambleAware: information on treatment and support.
- Gordon Moody: residential treatment and help online.
- Gamblers Anonymous: meetings with people who have been there.
Asking early is easier than repairing damage later, and none of these services expects you to have stopped first.
