Responsible Gambling — Help & Support

Gambling should be entertainment, never a way to make money or escape problems. Because every operator we list is offshore and outside GamStop, the UK's built-in safeguards don't apply automatically — so taking control yourself matters even more.

Free, confidential help

• BeGambleAware.org — advice, self-assessment and treatment referral.
• GamCare — the National Gambling Helpline: 0808 8020 133, free and 24/7.
• GamStop — free UK self-exclusion from all UKGC-licensed sites.
• NHS Gambling Service — free specialist treatment across the UK.
• Gordon Moody — residential and online support for severe gambling harm.

Tools to stay in control

• Set deposit & loss limits on every account — and keep them low.
• Use time-outs and self-exclusion offered by each operator (note: these are per-site offshore, not linked like GamStop).
• Block gambling with Gamban and bank card gambling blocks (Monzo, Starling, Barclays and others).
• Never chase losses and never gamble with money you need for essentials or with credit.

Signs it may be a problem

Spending more than you can afford, gambling to escape stress, chasing losses, lying about gambling, or borrowing to gamble are all warning signs. Help is available and it works — please reach out.

Protecting under-18s

Gambling is strictly for adults aged 18+. Use parental controls and filtering software to keep gambling content away from children.
