Play for Entertainment, Not Income
Casino games are designed to be fun, but they always carry a risk of losing money. There is no guaranteed way to win, and losses are a normal part of gambling.
Golden Rule
Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses.
Set Limits
Responsible gambling starts with setting clear personal limits:
- Time limits – Decide how long you will play before you start.
- Budget limits – Set a spending amount and stick to it.
- Loss limits – Accept losses as part of the experience and avoid trying to recover them.
Many online casinos offer tools that allow players to set deposit limits, wagering limits, or time-out periods. We recommend using these features to maintain control.
Know the Signs of Problem Gambling
Gambling may become a problem if you:
- Spend more time or money than planned
- Feel stressed, anxious, or guilty about gambling
- Gamble to escape personal or financial problems
- Chase losses or borrow money to gamble
- Neglect work, family, or social responsibilities
If gambling stops being fun, it's time to take a break.
Take Breaks or Self-Exclude
If you feel your gambling is getting out of control, consider:
- Taking a temporary break from gambling
- Using self-exclusion tools provided by casinos
- Closing gambling accounts entirely if needed
Self-exclusion allows you to restrict access to gambling services for a set period of time. This can be a crucial step in regaining control.
UK Self-Exclusion Scheme
GAMSTOP is the UK's national self-exclusion scheme. Register at www.gamstop.co.uk to exclude yourself from all UK-licensed gambling sites for a period of 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years.
Protect Minors
Gambling is strictly for adults only. We strongly encourage parents and guardians to:
- Use parental control software on devices
- Keep gambling account details private and secure
- Monitor online activity on shared devices
- Educate children about the risks of gambling
18+ Only: It is illegal for anyone under 18 to gamble in the UK. All operators we recommend have strict age verification measures in place.

Our Commitment
We aim to provide information that encourages safe and responsible gambling. We do not promote gambling as a solution to financial problems and encourage all users to make informed, responsible choices.
