Responsible Gambling: Limits, Breaks & Finding Support

Practical spending controls, self-exclusion checks and support resources.

Gambling involves financial risk. This page explains practical controls and where to find support. Only gamble if you meet the legal age in your location: 18+ or a higher local requirement. A bonus does not remove the risk of losing money.

Set spending and time limits before playing

Use the controls in the operator’s account settings to set limits you can afford. Check whether a control limits deposits, losses or stakes: these are different measures. Set a time limit as well, and do not use money needed for rent, bills or other essential expenses. Avoid borrowing to gamble or trying to recover a loss with a larger bet.

Take a break or request self-exclusion

A time-out can pause access for a defined period. Self-exclusion is a request to prevent gambling access under the operator’s or scheme’s rules. Check the duration, covered brands and steps required. Do not assume one request covers every website or account. GamCare explains self-exclusion options.

Use additional barriers where available

Ask your bank whether gambling-payment blocks are available, and consider blocking software alongside account restrictions. These tools have their own coverage and limitations. GamCare provides information on blocking software, managing money and support services.

Recognise when gambling is causing harm

Warning signs can include chasing losses, spending more than intended, hiding gambling, borrowing money or gambling interfering with daily responsibilities. You do not need to wait for a crisis to seek support. Someone affected by another person’s gambling can also contact support services.

Find support relevant to your location

For support in Great Britain, visit GamCare’s support page for current contact options, online services and guidance. If you are elsewhere, check the gambling regulator or public-health services in your country for locally available help. Eligibility and service coverage vary.
