Below, you'll find information about the responsible gambling tools available at our partner casinos and external support resources.
Understanding Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of background or circumstances. It occurs when gambling stops being a form of entertainment and begins to negatively impact your life, relationships, work, or finances.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
You may have a gambling problem if you:
- Spend more money or time gambling than you can afford
- Feel the need to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve excitement
- Chase losses by continuing to gamble to try to win back money you've lost
- Gamble to escape problems, anxiety, or feelings of depression
- Lie to family members, friends, or others about the extent of your gambling
- Borrow money, sell possessions, or commit fraud to finance gambling
- Neglect work, education, or family commitments because of gambling
- Feel restless or irritable when attempting to cut down or stop gambling
- Experience relationship problems or family conflicts due to gambling
- Think about gambling constantly or plan your next gambling session
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it's important to seek help immediately. Problem gambling is treatable, and support is available.
Player Protection Tools at Partner Casinos
All UK-licensed casinos featured on our site are required to provide a comprehensive range of tools to help you manage your gambling and stay in control. These typically include:
Deposit Limits
Most casinos allow you to set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on the amount you can deposit. Once set, these limits cannot be increased immediately and require a cooling-off period. This helps prevent impulsive decisions and keeps your spending within affordable levels.
Loss Limits
You can control the maximum amount you can lose over a specified period. When you reach your loss limit, you will be unable to continue playing until the period resets, helping you avoid chasing losses.
Session Time Limits
Set limits on how long you can play in a single session. You will receive alerts when your time limit approaches and will be automatically logged out when it expires, encouraging regular breaks.
Reality Checks
Receive regular pop-up reminders during gameplay showing how long you've been playing and how much you've won or lost. This helps maintain awareness of time and spending.
Self-Exclusion at Individual Casinos
If you feel you need a complete break from gambling at a specific casino, you can self-exclude for a minimum period of six months, up to five years, or permanently. During self-exclusion:
- You will not be able to access the casino's services
- You will not receive any marketing communications from them
- The casino will take reasonable steps to prevent you from accessing their platform
- The decision cannot be reversed during the exclusion period
Contacting Casino Support
To access these tools or restrict your access to any casino's services, please contact the customer support team of the respective casino directly. We recommend using these tools proactively to maintain healthy gambling habits.
GAMSTOP - National Self-Exclusion Scheme
GAMSTOP is a free service that allows you to self-exclude from all UK-licensed gambling websites simultaneously. Once registered, you will be blocked from all participating operators for your chosen period of six months, one year, or five years.
This is particularly useful if you want to ensure you cannot access any gambling sites. All casinos featured on PlayUKCasinos2025 are GAMSTOP participants. Registration is quick, simple, and completely confidential.

Underage Gambling Prevention
It is illegal for anyone under 18 years of age to gamble in the United Kingdom. All UK-licensed casinos we feature take the prevention of underage gambling extremely seriously and employ rigorous age verification procedures.
When you register at any of our partner casinos, you will be required to verify your identity and age before you can deposit money or play for real. These casinos use trusted third-party verification services and may request official documentation at any time.
If you suspect someone underage is gambling, please report it immediately to the customer support team of the relevant casino or contact the UK Gambling Commission directly.
