Built-in tools

Open your account and switch on your limits

The worry that an evening drifts into a bad one is answered inside your own account.

A budget set in calm

Caps what can be paid in over a set period; switch it on before a session, so the budget is chosen while you are calm.

Set the loss point early

Stops play for a while once losses reach a chosen figure, which suits anyone who chases a bad night; set it before the mood turns.

Turn on time checks

Sends a message after a stretch of play you choose, useful when an evening disappears; keep it on so time stays visible.

Paused, not closed

Blocks the account for a short break you decide, helpful when spending feels rushed; choose it whenever you need distance without closing anything.

Ready to stop for longer?

Closes your account to gambling for a longer block when limits keep slipping, and the support team can point you to the national register, GAMSTOP.

Quick setup

Your first limit, set in a few minutes

Setting a cap means no paperwork and no phone call, just a menu and a moment.

Find your profile

Open your profile from the account menu and check that your name and verification are complete, so the limit applies to the right player.

Inside your profile

Find the responsible gambling or limits area inside the profile; it lists every control your account holds, including pauses.

Your chosen figure

Choose deposit, loss or session reminders, then pick a figure or a length that fits the money you can spare.

Saved, then seen

Save the change and reopen the limits page to see the new figure in place; if it is missing, ask support in live chat.

Do you need a pause or a full stop?

Need a short break? Choose a time-out inside your account to freeze play for the stretch of hours or days you pick. Your balance and your profile stay as they are, so coming back is a click away once it ends.

A longer lock, no early exit. Lock yourself out from your account settings when a pause feels too light; the closure lasts for the full period you choose and cannot be lifted early, even if you ask us to. Access to games and deposits stops for the whole term.

When one casino is not enough. Join GAMSTOP, the national self-exclusion register, online with email verification; it blocks you from every United Kingdom licensed site for at least six months, or longer if you choose, and can take up to 24 hours to take effect. The National Online Self Exclusion Scheme Limited runs it. gamstop.co.uk

Reader's questions

Read this before you change a limit

You will know what each break does and who else can pick up the phone.

Can my self-exclusion be lifted before the end of the period?+

No. A self-exclusion lasts for the whole period you chose, and it stays in force however you feel about it later. You pick the length when you switch it on, so choose a stretch you can live with.

My brother plays too much. Where can I get advice for myself?+

Yes, you can call the National Gambling Helpline (GamCare) on 0808 8020 133, free and around the clock, and tell them what you are watching at home. Advisers there speak to relatives as well as players. Gamblers Anonymous also holds mixed meetings for family and friends, with no appointment needed.

What does a cooling-off period cover, and when is play open again?+

Play closes for the days you pick, while your money stays in your account and nothing is withdrawn. When the period ends, your usual access returns without you asking again. A pause is far shorter than a self-exclusion.

Can I set deposit limits from my mobile instead of a desktop?+

Yes. Your profile carries the same limit fields in the mobile version, so a deposit or loss cap saved on a phone applies to every device. Look under your profile, then the limit section, the same place you find it elsewhere.

If I self-exclude with you, am I blocked from other casinos?+

No, only this account closes for play. To step away from other operators as well, register with GAMSTOP, the national online self-exclusion scheme, which takes up to 24 hours to take effect. You can do that alongside your exclusion here.
