RESPONSIBLE GAMBLING

Put your phone down when play stops feeling manageable

If stopping feels difficult, close the game and call 0800 006 008. You can get free, confidential support. Unfinished bonus wagering can wait; you’re allowed to stop playing now.

18+ only. Treat play as spending you might lose, never as money you’re expecting to earn.

Set a stopping amount outside the lobby

Decide what you can spare after essentials, then keep that amount separate. Use account time and deposit limits where available. When you reach your limit, close the game; borrowing or raising your stake won’t undo a loss.

Ask for a pause on your account

If opening the casino on your phone has become a habit you can’t control, ask the operator about a cooling-off period, account restrictions or self-exclusion. You can ask someone you trust to sit with you while you contact support.

You can also ask for support if it’s another person’s gambling that’s affecting your life. You don’t have to handle it alone.
