Responsible Gaming

Gambling should stay entertainment. This page exists to help you keep it that way — and to point you to free, independent UK support if it stops.

Age restriction

This publication, and every brand we review, is restricted to those aged 18 and over. UK-licensed operators are legally required to verify age and identity before allowing withdrawals, and often before allowing a deposit at all.

Signs worth noticing

Chasing losses with bigger deposits than planned
Gambling to escape stress, boredom, or a low mood rather than for enjoyment
Hiding deposits, losses, or time spent from people close to you
Borrowing money, or using money set aside for bills, to fund a deposit
Feeling unable to stop, even after deciding to

None of these on their own mean there's a problem — but more than one, repeated over time, is worth acting on early.

Tools that actually help

Deposit limits — set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap before you deposit, not after. Every UK-licensed brand offers this in account settings.

Reality checks — a pop-up reminder of time and money spent during a session, available on request from any UK-licensed brand.

Time-outs — a short cooling-off period, typically a day to six weeks, during which you can't deposit.

Self-exclusion — a longer block, from six months up to five years, available directly through a brand or across every UK-licensed operator at once via GamStop.

Independent, free UK support

GamStop is the UK's free national self-exclusion scheme. One registration blocks your access to every UK Gambling Commission-licensed operator, including both brands we review.
