Responsible Gaming.

18+ only

Gambling is only for adults aged 18 and over. Licensed UK operators must verify your age and identity before you can gamble.

Keep it fun

Treat gambling as paid entertainment, not a way to make money. Set a budget and a time limit before you start, never chase losses and never borrow to gamble.

Warning signs

Spending more than you can afford, hiding gambling from others, feeling anxious when not gambling or gambling to escape problems are signs to take a break and seek support.

Tools at every UK operator

Deposit limits, loss limits, reality checks, time-outs and self-exclusion are available at every UKGC-licensed operator, usually under account settings.

GamStop
