Responsible gambling
Gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to make money or escape problems. If you are spending more than you can afford, hiding your activity, or feeling anxious or stressed about gambling, it is important to pause and seek help. Support is free and confidential.
Signs to watch for
- Chasing losses or trying to win back money you have lost.
- Borrowing money or missing bills to fund gambling.
- Lying to family or friends about how much you gamble.
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut down.
- Gambling affecting your mood, sleep, or relationships.
Recognising these signs early can help you take control. Small steps — setting deposit limits, using reality checks, or taking a short break — often help before problems grow.
Tools on licensed sites
UK licensed operators must offer safer gambling tools, including deposit limits, time-outs, reality checks, and self-exclusion. You can usually find these in your account settings. If you cannot locate them, contact the operator's support team.
