Responsible gambling

Last updated 1 June 2026

Gambling should be entertainment, never a way to make money or escape problems. The operators we list are licensed outside the UK and are not covered by GamStop or the UK Gambling Commission, so the safeguards are largely down to you. Please read this before you play.

Stay in control

  • Set a deposit limit when you sign up, and stick to it.
  • Only gamble money you can afford to lose.
  • Never chase losses, and don't gamble to solve money worries.
  • Take regular breaks and don't play while upset or under the influence.

Signs it may be a problem

Spending more than you intended, hiding your gambling, borrowing to play, or feeling anxious about it are warning signs. If any sound familiar, reach out for help — it's free and confidential.

Where to get help

  • BeGambleAware — advice and the National Gambling Helpline: 0808 8020 133.
  • GamCare — support, counselling and forums.
  • GAMSTOP — free self-exclusion from UK-licensed sites (note: it does not block non-UK casinos).
  • Gambling Therapy — global online support.

Most operators also offer their own deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion tools in your account settings — use them.
