Only stake money whose loss would not hurt you. Settle on a budget before any deposit, stop when it runs out, and never chase what has gone. Every account holder must be 18 or over.
Tools on your account
- Deposit limit: name a sum and a period, and our support team applies it.
- Cooling-off: time away from your account, for as long as you decide.
- Self-exclusion: a longer lock-out that lasts its whole term.
- Account closure: permanent, on request.
Live chat and e-mail support can set up any of these.
GAMSTOP does not cover us
GAMSTOP, the national self-exclusion scheme, does not extend to us, because our licence is held offshore. Registering with it therefore does not stop you opening an account here. If you are on GAMSTOP, please stay away, and our team can add a separate exclusion on our side.
Blocking software
Gamban keeps gambling sites and apps from opening on phones and computers, and it also covers sites outside GAMSTOP.
Signs to watch for
Paying for play with bill money, borrowing to gamble, hiding it from the people around you, trying to win losses back or growing irritable when you cannot play all mean it is time to stop.
