Set limits and pauses
Decide what you can afford before you start, and do not treat gambling as income or a way to win back losses. Your account includes deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion. Support can help you find a control or explain how long it lasts. Choose the limit before play, and stop when it is reached rather than changing it during a session.
We are outside GAMSTOP
Our service is not part of GAMSTOP, so a GAMSTOP exclusion will not block this account. If you joined GAMSTOP to keep yourself away from gambling, do not open an account here. Use a blocking tool such as Gamban on your devices and ask someone you trust to help you maintain the break.
Notice changes in behaviour
Take a pause if you are spending more than planned, borrowing to keep playing, hiding activity, neglecting responsibilities or feeling anxious when you cannot gamble. These can be signs to seek help. Turn off access, speak with someone you trust and contact a specialist service.
Independent help in the UK
GamCare runs the National Gambling Helpline at 0808 8020 133. GambleAware can direct you to information and treatment. Gordon Moody provides specialist support, and Gamblers Anonymous offers peer groups. These organisations are independent. For immediate danger, contact emergency services.
A trusted person can help you keep to a break. Ask them to support your plan rather than lend money for further play. A limit is a boundary, not a guarantee against harm.
