Questions on limits[email protected]

Before the next deposit

Which limits can you switch on?

Read this when a good night out starts to feel like a habit you did not choose.

A cap on top-ups

Cap what leaves your bank for the session ahead before you start, so a bad run never sets the size of your next top-up.

How much can go tonight?

Decide in advance the most you are willing to lose in one sitting, then let the account stop you when that line is reached.

Pick your reminder time

Pick a gentle reminder that appears after a stretch of play you choose, so hours at the reels do not quietly swallow the evening.

Room to step away

Close the door on play for a stretch you pick when gambling has stopped feeling like a pastime; the account then blocks deposits and games.

Look at the clock

Switch on a pop-up that shows how long you have played and what you have spent, useful when you want the plain facts mid-session.

Quick setup

How do you set a limit here?

Players often worry a limit is hard to find, so here is the short path through your account.

Before the first game

Open your account menu from the header and look for the section marked for safer play or limits before you pick any game.

Already on or off

Inside that section, every control you hold is listed together; check which ones are already switched on before you change anything.

Start with one control

Decide whether money in, money lost or time at the screen matters most to you now, then choose that single control first.

Summary screen check

Save the change, then check the summary screen shows your new ceiling; if it does not appear, contact support through live chat.

Is play still costing you nothing but money?

Catching these signs while they are still small gives you room to act calmly. Set a limit before your next session, or take a pause, and the choice stays yours rather than the game's.

Scan the list below and see whether any line describes your last few weeks.

Advice that costs you nothing

Once you have read this, you will know exactly who to contact and how quickly they answer.

National Gambling Helpline (GamCare)

Trained advisers answer at any hour, every day of the year, and nothing you say leaves the call. They talk with players and with partners, parents and friends, and can point you towards local support. 0808 8020 133 gamcare.org.uk

Gamblers Anonymous

Meetings run by people who have been where you are, with no booking needed and no fee. Relatives and friends are welcome at separate meetings, so nobody has to carry this alone. gamblersanonymous.org.uk

Short break or lasting stop

Need a few days off? Choose a time-out when you simply want the screen to go quiet for a while. It starts the moment you confirm it in your account, and during that stretch you cannot deposit or play until the hours you picked have passed.

A long, firm break. Setting our own self-exclusion closes your access for a long stretch, and it will not be lifted early however you feel about it later. You start it from your account settings, and play and deposits are blocked throughout.

Join GAMSTOP as well. Registering with GAMSTOP blocks you from online gambling sites licensed here, not just this one. The National Online Self Exclusion Scheme Limited runs it, the shortest period is 6 months, and taking effect can take up to 24 hours. gamstop.co.uk

Your questions answered

What happens after you set a limit?

Worth reading when you are weighing up a cap, a pause or a longer exclusion and want the details settled.

Why do I have to prove my age before I play?+

Age is confirmed before an account can be used, because casino games here are only for adults aged 18 or over. Uploading a passport or driving licence settles the check. Verification usually takes around 31 hours, and play and withdrawals stay on hold until it is done.

Where do I find the controls on my mobile?+

Your phone shows the same responsible gambling section as the desktop site, reached from the menu in the header. Deposit limits, loss limits, session reminders and self-exclusion all sit on one list once you open it. Nothing is missing on a smaller screen.

Can I cancel a self-exclusion before it ends?+

No. A self-exclusion runs for the whole period you chose and cannot be lifted early, and the GAMSTOP scheme works the same way with its fixed terms. That firmness is the point of choosing it. Pick the shortest period that still gives you real distance.

What does a short pause do to my account?+

A pause closes your account for a set stretch of days while your balance and history stay untouched. When the period runs out, access returns by itself and nothing needs renewing. Choose a pause for a breather, and self-exclusion when the break has to be beyond your own reach.

Can I raise a deposit limit once I have set one?+

You can adjust a limit in the same list where it was created, and lowering it is straightforward. Where a rise is possible, it takes effect only after a cooling-off wait, so a limit is decided before play rather than in the middle of it. Set the figure you want to live with, not the figure that suits tonight.

Does blocking myself here also cover other casinos?+

Not on its own. A self-exclusion on this account covers Spincastle Casino, while the GAMSTOP register is the national scheme that keeps you out of licensed sites across the country. Joining GAMSTOP is done there, and it allows up to 24 hours to take effect.
