Responsible Gambling
Gambling should be entertainment, never a way to make money or chase losses.
Because the casinos we review are not covered by GamStop, staying in control is entirely down to you. This page explains the tools available and where to get help.
You must be 18 or over to gamble. If you are under 18, do not register or play at any online casino.
Signs Gambling May Be a Problem
- Spending more time or money than you intended, or can afford.
- Chasing losses — betting more to win back what you’ve lost.
- Gambling to escape stress or low mood.
- Borrowing money, or neglecting work or relationships, to gamble.
- Feeling anxious or guilty about your gambling.
Tools Every Casino Offers
- Deposit limits — cap deposits per day, week or month.
- Loss & wager limits — cap how much you can lose or stake.
- Time-outs — lock yourself out for a cooling-off period.
- Self-exclusion — close your account for months or years.
GamStop & Self-Exclusion
If you want to block yourself from all UK-licensed gambling sites in one step, register free with GamStop. If you previously self-excluded through GamStop, we’d strongly encourage you to keep that protection rather than seek sites outside it.
