Safer gambling tools

Deposit limits

You can set daily, weekly or monthly deposit caps in your account settings. Once active, the operator blocks further deposits until the period resets or you request a higher limit — which typically involves a cooling-off wait of at least 24 hours under UKGC rules.

Reality checks and session timers

Reality checks pop up at intervals you choose, showing how long you have been playing and net wins or losses for the session. Session timers log you out automatically after a set duration. Both are optional but worth enabling if you lose track of time while playing slots or live tables.

Cooling-off periods

A cooling-off period temporarily suspends your account — usually 24 hours to six weeks — without the permanence of full self-exclusion. During cooling-off you cannot log in or deposit, but your account data remains for when the period ends.

GamStop self-exclusion

GamStop is the national self-exclusion scheme covering all UKGC-licensed online gambling. Register at gamstop.co.uk and choose six months, one year or five years. Every participating operator must block your account within 24 hours of registration. GamStop does not cover unlicensed sites, which is one reason to stick with UKGC-licensed brands.

Operator-level self-exclusion

You can also exclude from a single brand through its responsible-gambling page. This only covers that operator and its sister sites under the same licence holder — not the entire market. For broader coverage, GamStop is the stronger option.
