Safer play
Gambling is a paid entertainment with a cost, not a wage.
You must be 18 or over. Stakes can be lost in full. Chasing losses, borrowing to play, or treating a session as a way to pay bills are warning signs, not a strategy.
Stop points that belong on every GB-licensed remote site
Remote licensees have to offer ways to cap deposits and to take breaks. They must take part in GAMSTOP. Those duties sit in the Commission’s codes and technical standards, not in our goodwill. If a site makes those tools hard to find, that is a reason to walk away, not to try harder.
- Set a deposit limit before the first deposit, not after a bad session.
- Use a time-out if you need a short stop with that operator.
- Use GAMSTOP if you need a block across GB-licensed online operators.
- Keep gambling off credit. Remote gambling on credit cards has been banned in Great Britain since April 2020.
