Practical habits

  • Set deposit and loss limits on the operator account before you play.
  • Use reality checks or session reminders so time does not slip unnoticed.
  • Never chase losses. Take a break when the session stops being fun.
  • Keep gambling money separate from essential household funds.

GAMSTOP

GAMSTOP is the free national self-exclusion scheme for online gambling licensed in Great Britain. Once registered, participating operators must block you for the period you choose. Register at gamstop.co.uk.

Talking to someone

GamCare offers free information, support and counselling for anyone affected by gambling harm. GambleAware funds education and treatment pathways. You do not need to wait for a crisis to get in touch.
