Responsible gambling

Gambling is paid entertainment with a built-in cost. It is not a way to earn money or to clear a debt.

If you have self-excluded

The sites listed on this website are licensed outside Great Britain and are not part of GAMSTOP. If you have registered with GAMSTOP, this website is not a way around it, and we ask you not to use these sites. Your exclusion was a decision worth keeping.

Signs that it is time to stop

• You are gambling with money meant for rent, bills or food.
• You are chasing losses or raising stakes to feel the same interest.
• You are hiding how much you play from people close to you.
• Gambling is on your mind when you are doing something else.

What helps

• Set a deposit limit and a time limit before you start, not during a session.
• Ask your bank to switch on its gambling block for your card.
• Install blocking software on your phone and computer.
• Talk to someone: the helplines below are free, confidential and open to family members too.
