Responsible gambling
Gambling is meant to be entertainment, not income. If it stops being fun, the tools below can help — most are free and take a few minutes.
If you need to stop today. Use GAMSTOP to block yourself from every UK-licensed gambling site at once, and call the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133 — free, confidential, 24/7.
Simple habits that help
- Set a deposit limit before you play — most UK operators offer daily, weekly and monthly caps.
- Use the time-out feature when a session is running long.
- Treat any money you stake as already spent. Never chase losses.
- Never borrow money to gamble, and avoid gambling while upset or under the influence.
- If a game stops being fun, it is the right moment to close the tab.
