If it is no longer a game, stop
Most people who gamble do so without harm. For some, it affects money, work and relationships. This page is here because we promote gambling brands.

Decide the spend and the clock first.
Know when to stop
Leave while the limit still holds.
What safer gambling means
UK-licensed operators must keep under-18s out, market with care, protect payments and offer tools such as deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion. GAMSTOP blocks you from licensed online operators in Great Britain. Your bank can also block gambling transactions on a debit card.
Ten reminders
- 01Set a money limit before you play, and do not raise it mid-session.
- 02Set a time limit and take breaks.
- 03Play for entertainment, not as a way to make money.
- 04Do not chase losses.
- 05Only stake money you can afford to lose.
- 06Do not gamble when you are upset, drunk or trying to solve a bill.
- 07Keep gambling off your work time and family time.
- 08Use the deposit, loss and time tools inside the casino.
- 09If you need a break, use a time-out or GAMSTOP.
- 10Ask for help early. You do not need to wait until things feel severe.
