Stay in control — UK resources that matter

Gambling is entertainment with a cost, not a way to make money. If it stops feeling optional, use the tools below.

National tools

Self-exclusion and advice

  • GamStop — multi-operator online self-exclusion for Great Britain.
  • GamCare — information, chat and the National Gambling Helpline.
  • GambleAware — advice and commissioned support services.
  • UK Gambling Commission — regulator, licence register and consumer guidance.

On every licensed site

Account-level controls

UK operators must offer deposit limits, time-outs and reality checks. Set them when you open an account — not after a long session. If you need a harder stop across brands, GamStop is the stronger route.

Warning signs

When to pause

Chasing losses, hiding play from people close to you, borrowing to gamble, or feeling restless until you can log in again are signals to step away and seek support. Help is confidential.
