Responsible Gambling
Gambling should be entertainment, never a way to make money or escape problems. Because casinos not on GamStop fall outside the UK's national self-exclusion scheme, the responsibility for safe play rests more heavily with you. Please use the tools and contacts below.
Warning Signs
- Spending more time or money gambling than you intended.
- Chasing losses or betting to recover money.
- Gambling with money meant for bills, rent, or essentials.
- Hiding gambling from family or friends, or feeling anxious about it.
Tools at Offshore Sites
Reputable casinos not on GamStop still offer deposit limits, loss limits, session reminders, cool-off periods, and account self-exclusion. They are not linked to GamStop, so set these limits directly with each operator. If a site offers no safer-gambling tools at all, do not play there.
