Treat gambling as paid entertainment, never as income and never as a way to recover what you have lost. Only people aged 18 or over may open an account, one each, and the tools on this page are there for the day play stops feeling like fun.
Which tools can you use?
Limits and self-exclusion are available in your account, and our support team will set either for you through live chat at any hour. Setting a limit before your first deposit is easier than setting one in the middle of a losing run.
Which signs deserve attention?
- Chasing losses with bigger or more frequent stakes
- Playing with money set aside for bills, rent or food
- Taking out loans or selling possessions to carry on playing
- Keeping your gambling time or spending secret
- Feeling anxious or irritable when you try to stop
One of these is reason enough to set a limit today, and several together are reason to talk to someone.
How does GAMSTOP affect you?
GAMSTOP does not cover us, and signing up with it leaves an account here open. If you are on GAMSTOP, we ask you not to play with us, and to request a self-exclusion from our team on top.
How can you block gambling sites?
Gamban stops gambling sites and apps from opening on phones and computers, including sites beyond the reach of GAMSTOP. On a family computer, a parental filter keeps children from landing on gambling pages.
