18+ only. Gambling should be entertainment, not a way to earn money or recover losses. If gambling is causing stress, debt or harm, stop and seek support.

Keep gambling under control

Set a firm spending limit before you start and never use money needed for bills, rent, food or savings.
Set time limits, take regular breaks and avoid gambling when upset, under pressure, or affected by alcohol or drugs.
Never chase losses. A previous loss does not make a future win more likely.
Review your account and bank statements regularly and keep gambling separate from everyday finances.
Do not borrow money or use credit to gamble.

Warning signs

Warning signs include spending more than planned, hiding gambling from others, borrowing to gamble, missing work or responsibilities, repeatedly trying to win back losses, and feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble.

Limits, breaks and self-exclusion

Use any deposit, loss, wager and session limits offered by the gambling operator. If limits are not enough, request a cooling-off period or full self-exclusion directly from the operator and ask for marketing to stop.

GAMSTOP provides free online self-exclusion from gambling businesses licensed in Great Britain. It may not cover operators outside the UK licensing system, so also use device-blocking software, bank gambling blocks and operator-level exclusion.

Protecting children and vulnerable people

Never share account credentials or payment methods with anyone under 18. Use device parental controls, keep gambling communications private, and do not leave an authenticated gambling session unattended.
