Setting limits: a quick guide to staying in control

Gambling should always be about entertainment. To ensure it stays that way, every UKGC-licensed casino is required to provide a suite of tools to help you manage your play. Here is how to use them effectively.

Deposit Limits

This is your first line of defense. You can set a limit on how much you can deposit over a day, week, or month. We recommend setting this as soon as you open an account, based on what you can comfortably afford to lose.

Reality Checks

It's easy to lose track of time when playing. Reality checks are pop-up notifications that appear at set intervals (e.g., every 30 minutes) to tell you how long you've been playing and how much you've spent.

Time-Outs

If you feel like you're playing too much, you can take a "Time-Out". This blocks you from your account for a short period, usually ranging from 24 hours up to 6 weeks.

Self-Exclusion

For a more permanent break, you can self-exclude. This blocks you from the casino for a minimum of 6 months. In the UK, you can also use GAMSTOP to self-exclude from every licensed online gambling site in the country with a single request.
