Gambling is entertainment that costs money, so set a budget you could lose without worry and stop once it has gone. It cannot earn you a living or clear a debt. Accounts are for adults of 18 or over only.
Settings you can switch on
Choose a deposit limit to cap what goes in over a day, a week or a month. Take a break to lock the account for a short time. Pick self-exclusion for a longer closure that will not end early. Our team applies any of them through live chat as well.
GAMSTOP and our site
We are not licensed by the UK Gambling Commission and not part of GAMSTOP, so a GAMSTOP registration will not stop you joining us. If you signed up to GAMSTOP, honour that choice by staying away, and ask us for an exclusion on our side too.
Software that blocks gambling
Gamban blocks gambling sites, ours among them, on the phones and computers where it is installed. Filters on a family device keep gambling pages out of children's reach.

- You try to win back losses.
- Money for bills or food ends up in a deposit.
