Responsible gambling

Practical UK-facing guidance and official support links. Gambling should be entertainment, not a source of income.

18+ only

It is illegal for anyone under 18 to gamble online in Great Britain. Licensed operators must verify age and identity. If you are not 18 or over, do not use gambling websites.

Gambling involves risk

You can lose the money you stake. There is no reliable way to guarantee winnings, and past results do not predict future outcomes. Set a budget you can afford to lose, take breaks, and stop if gambling stops feeling enjoyable.

Tools you can use

  • Deposit, loss, and session limits within your operator account
  • Reality checks and time-out periods
  • Self-exclusion through the operator or nationally via GAMSTOP
  • Blocking software on your devices if you need stronger barriers

Official UK support

  • GAMSTOP — free self-exclusion scheme for UK online gambling
  • GamCare — advice and support, including the National Gambling Helpline
  • GambleAware — information and treatment referrals
  • UK Gambling Commission — regulator for licensed gambling in Great Britain
