Responsible gambling
Our policy: 18+. Gambling is entertainment with a real cost, not a way to make money. Never gamble with money needed for bills, rent or debt.
Signs it is costing more than money
- Playing longer or staking more than you planned, then playing on to win back what you lost.
- Borrowing, dipping into savings or leaving bills unpaid to keep playing.
- Keeping your gambling from the people you live with.
- Feeling restless or low on the days you do not gamble.

Controls UK operators must offer
Our guides read the UK Gambling Commission’s own rules on the tools a licensed site must give you:
- UK online gambling financial limits: the default choice and account-level floor
- UK online casino net position display: what a gaming session must show
- UK online slot speed and autoplay rules: what licensed games must do
- UK online gambling deposit limits change on 30 September 2026
Set a limit before you play, not after a loss. If gambling stops being fun, stop and ask for help.
