Safer play
Responsible gambling
Gambling should be entertainment with money you can afford to lose — not a way to solve financial problems or recover previous losses. Licensed UK operators must provide tools to help you stay in control; national organisations offer free support if gambling stops feeling manageable.
Tools on operator sites
Every UKGC-licensed casino must offer:
- Deposit, loss and session time limits you can set yourself
- Cooling-off periods and timed self-exclusions on that account
- Reality checks that interrupt long sessions
- Access to account history so you can review spend
