Set boundaries before play
Choose an affordable deposit budget, a maximum loss or stake figure and a session end time. Never use essential or borrowed funds.
Limits
Use available deposit controls and keep a separate record of time and spend.
Take a break
Use a time-out when a short enforced pause is appropriate.
Self-exclusion
Use the account route and consider GAMSTOP when a longer block is needed.
Independent UK support
GAMSTOP provides national online self-exclusion. GamCare and the National Gambling Helpline provide free support on 0808 8020 133. If gambling is causing harm, stop playing and seek help rather than trying to recover losses.
