Responsible gambling: UK support and where to find it

Signs worth paying attention to

• Spending more time or money on gambling than you planned to, on a regular basis.
• Chasing losses — gambling more to try to win back money already lost.
• Borrowing money, selling belongings or missing payments to fund gambling.
• Hiding the amount you gamble from people close to you.
• Feeling irritable, anxious or low when you try to cut back or stop.

None of these on their own is proof of a problem, but if more than one sounds familiar, it's worth using one of the tools below or speaking to GamCare.

Three things you can do today

1. Self-exclude with GAMSTOP. A single registration blocks your access to every UK Gambling Commission-licensed site and app, including all six operators compared on this site.
2. Set a limit directly with your operator. Every licensed casino must offer deposit limits, loss limits or time-based limits inside your account settings, adjustable without needing to close the account entirely.
3. Talk to GamCare. Their helpline and live chat are free, confidential and staffed around the clock, whether you want advice for yourself or for someone else.
