All UK-licensed casino operators are required by the UK Gambling Commission to provide responsible gambling tools. Understanding these tools can help you maintain control of your gambling activity.
Deposit Limits — You can set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit. Once set, limits can be increased only after a cooling-off period (typically 24–48 hours). Decreases take effect immediately.
Loss Limits — Similar to deposit limits, loss limits cap how much you can lose in a given period.
Session Time Limits — Set a maximum session length. The casino will alert you when your time is up.
Reality Checks — Regular reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent.
Self-Exclusion — If you want to stop gambling entirely for a period, you can self-exclude from individual operators. Self-exclusion periods range from 6 months to 5 years (or permanently). Use GAMSTOP to self-exclude from all UKGC-licensed operators simultaneously.
Cooling-Off Periods — A temporary break of 24 hours, 1 week, or 1 month without full self-exclusion.
Getting Help — GamCare (0808 8020 133) provides free, confidential advice and support. BeGambleAware.org has an extensive resource library. Gamblers Anonymous (gamblersanonymous.org.uk) runs local support meetings.
