Responsible Play (UK resources)
Online casinos are entertainment — and for some people they can become harmful. This page is written for England-based readers who want simple tools to stay in control. If you’re under 18, don’t gamble. If gambling is already causing stress, please reach out for support sooner rather than later.
A practical control plan
Before you play
- Set a deposit limit and time limit inside your casino account.
- Decide your “walk away” number: the maximum you’ll spend today.
- Avoid playing when tired, stressed, or after alcohol.
While you play
- Use reality checks so you see time passing.
- Take short breaks between games; don’t spin on autopilot.
- If you feel tilted or angry, stop. That state is expensive.
UK help & self-exclusion
GAMSTOP (self-exclusion)
GAMSTOP lets you exclude yourself from participating online gambling operators with one registration. It’s a strong option if you want a firm barrier across multiple sites.
BeGambleAware & support
BeGambleAware provides practical advice and a route to support. If you’re worried about someone else, they also explain how to start that conversation.
You can also explore blocking software and advice resources. If you’re in immediate danger, contact local emergency services.
