Keeping gambling safe, limited and optional.

Tools you can use at UK-licensed casinos

Casinos licensed in Great Britain must offer a range of safer gambling tools. Even if you feel in control, using these tools is a good habit:

Deposit and loss limits

• Set daily, weekly or monthly deposit limits before you start playing.
• Choose a limit that fits inside your entertainment budget, not your full income.

Time reminders and breaks

• Switch on session reminders so you see how long you’ve been playing.
• Take regular breaks away from the screen, even when you’re winning.

Self-exclusion

• Use the casino’s self-exclusion tools if you feel you need to stop for a longer period.
• In Great Britain, you can also use schemes such as GAMSTOP to block most online gambling sites registered with the programme.
