If you ever feel that gambling is becoming more than just entertainment, support and tools are always available to help you stay in control.
Our Commitment to Safer Gambling

Even small bets — whether it’s a fiver, a tenner, or a few quid — can add up over time. Staying aware of your habits helps prevent gambling from becoming problematic.
Tools to Help You Stay in Control
We provide a range of built-in tools that allow you to manage your gambling activity directly from your account.
Deposit Limits
Deposit limits allow you to control how much money you can add to your account over a set period.
You can set:
- Daily.
- Weekly.
- Monthly.
Once a limit is reached, you will not be able to deposit additional funds until the period resets. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately, while increasing it requires a cooling-off period before activation, in line with UKGC regulations.
Loss Limits
Loss limits help you cap how much you can lose over a defined period. This ensures you don’t spend more than intended, even during longer sessions.
Session Time Limits
Time management is just as important as money management. You can set session limits that notify you when you’ve been playing for a specified duration.
Reality checks can also be enabled, providing reminders about:

During this time, you will not be able to log in or place bets. This feature is ideal if you feel your gambling is becoming impulsive or difficult to manage.
Self-Exclusion
If you need a longer break, self-exclusion allows you to block access to your account for an extended period.
Available self-exclusion periods include:
- 6.
- 1 year.
- 5.
Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed until the selected period ends. Your account will remain inaccessible, and you will not receive marketing communications during this time.
