Responsible Gaming
Gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always play within your means, set limits before you start, and never chase losses.
Age Verification
In Great Britain, you must be 18 or over to gamble. We encourage all users to verify their age and keep login details secure. If you share a device with minors, use parental controls and consider additional account security measures.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following in yourself or someone else, it may be time to seek support:
- Chasing losses or gambling to win back money
- Hiding gambling activity from family or friends
- Spending more time or money than intended
- Neglecting work, studies, or relationships because of gambling
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
- Feeling anxious, guilty, or irritable when trying to cut down
Self-Help Tools
Most licensed UK bookmakers offer practical tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit limits – set a maximum amount you can deposit daily, weekly, or monthly
- Loss limits – cap the amount you can lose over a set period
- Reality checks – receive reminders of how long you have been playing
- Time-outs – take a short break from your account
- Self-exclusion – block yourself from gambling for a set period, including via GamStop for all UK-licensed sites
