Every stake is spending on entertainment. Gambling cannot top up an income or recover what has gone, and treating it that way is where harm starts. Only adults aged 18 or over may play with us, one account each.
Two Tools on Your Account
- Deposit limits: a ceiling you set yourself, from your account
- Self-exclusion: a block on play, from your account or through support
Live chat staff can put either in place for you at any hour, at no cost. A limit set early, before play feels hard to stop, does the most good. Opening a second account while excluded breaks our one-account rule.
GAMSTOP Does Not Reach Us
GAMSTOP, the UK self-exclusion scheme, does not include us. An exclusion registered with it therefore leaves an account here open. If GAMSTOP covers you, keep away from our site and ask our team to exclude you here as well.
Signs Worth Acting On
- Staking more to recover what you have lost
- Using money set aside for rent, bills or food
- Borrowing, or selling things, to keep playing
- Keeping your play secret from people close to you
- Feeling anxious or irritable on days without a bet
Any one of these is a reason to stop and speak to someone.

Keeping Gambling Away From Children
Parental controls on a shared phone or laptop can hide gambling pages from younger users. Sign out when you finish, and do not let a shared device remember your password.
