Gambling is a paid pastime. Set aside an amount you can afford to lose, and treat whatever is spent as the price of the entertainment rather than a debt to win back. Only adults of 18 or over may hold an account.
Account Controls
- Deposit limits on how much you can pay in.
- Session limits and reality checks that show how long you have played.
- Cooling-off for a short break from your account.
- Self-exclusion for a chosen period, which cannot be cut short.
- Account closure for a minimum of 30 days.
Chat explains the controls at any hour. Self-exclusion requires the written support route supplied there, and takes effect when its confirmation arrives.
GAMSTOP and Our Licence
We are not licensed by the UK Gambling Commission and not part of GAMSTOP. GAMSTOP does not apply restrictions to our accounts. If you have registered, please do not play here, and follow our written self-exclusion procedure too.
Blocking Software
Gamban blocks gambling sites on phones and computers, including ours, and a parental filter keeps them away from children on a shared device.
