Limits and exclusion questions[email protected]

Five settings

Deposit, loss, time and exclusion controls

Reach for these when a good evening starts stretching longer than you planned.

What can leave the balance?

Cap what can leave your balance each day, week or month, and switch it on before your first deposit rather than after a costly night.

A stop point for rough runs

Set a ceiling on net losses for a chosen period so a rough run has a stop point, and choose it while you are still level-headed.

Set session time reminders

Get a nudge at a chosen interval while you play, so a quick session does not quietly become a long one without you noticing.

Turn on reality checks

See a periodic on-screen recap of time and money spent, and switch it on if you like a factual checkpoint mid-session.

Self-exclusion

Block your own access for a set period, and request it early if you feel play is pressing on your money or your mood.

Quick route

Four steps from intention to a working limit

Use this walkthrough the first time you want a boundary in place before playing.

Find your settings menu

Choose your guardrail

Pick deposit, loss or session time limits, depending on whether money or minutes are the thing you want held in check.

Your figure, your period

Enter the figure or the minutes you can comfortably spare, and choose whether it applies daily, weekly or monthly.

Saved, then shown

Save the change and reopen the settings panel to see the limit listed, since a saved limit should show straight away.

Read your last month honestly

Catching a change early stops a habit taking hold. Start with one small move: a deposit or loss limit before your next session, or a pause of hours or days. Deciding while play still feels light beats deciding after a loss.

Read these and notice which ones have shown up in the past month.

A pause for one person, a calm house for the rest

Verified before the first withdrawal. Nobody opens an account with us before turning 18, and identity documents are reviewed before any withdrawal leaves the balance. Expect a wait of up to 42 hours for that check.

Set the block on shared devices. Install blocking software on shared phones and the family computer so gambling sites stay out of reach for younger users. Do it together, and keep the password with an adult who does not gamble.

Who can a relative ring? Sit down with a relative and describe what you noticed, without blame or a list of demands. Then pass on the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133, free around the clock.

When a night off is not enough

Step away for a few days. Pausing closes your account for a break measured in hours or days, chosen by you when you set it. Start it in your account settings, and deposits and play stay blocked until the pause runs out.

A long account closure. Self-exclusion shuts access for a long stretch and cannot be lifted early, however the week has gone. You start it in your account settings, and the login stays closed for the period you picked.

One list, every licensed site. GAMSTOP is the national register for this country, run by The National Online Self Exclusion Scheme Limited. Registration happens online with email verification, lasts at least six months and can take up to 24 hours to take effect, blocking you from licensed sites. gamstop.co.uk

Six plain answers

Read this before you change your limits

Useful at the point where play has started to feel heavier than you planned.

If I take a short pause, can I play again afterwards?+

A pause freezes your account for the period you pick, so no deposit or bet goes through while it runs. Once that period ends, play opens again without you contacting anyone. Ask support to set one if you want distance without closing anything.

Why does the casino need my age before I play?+

Only adults of 18 or over may hold an account, and age is confirmed before a withdrawal is paid out. Document checks protect you from an account opened in someone else's name. Verification usually completes within 42 hours once your documents arrive.

Can I set a deposit limit on my phone?+

You can. The mobile version of the site carries the same account section as the desktop, with deposit limits, loss limits and session reminders in the same place. Nothing about a limit changes because you reached the account from a handset.

Does one exclusion here cover other casinos as well?+

An exclusion set with us closes your account with us only. If you want a block that reaches every licensed site in the country, register separately with GAMSTOP, the national scheme run by The National Online Self Exclusion Scheme Limited. Allow up to 24 hours for it to take effect.

How do I close my account for good?+

Write to [email protected] and ask for closure, and support confirms it in writing once the balance is settled. Closing ends the account rather than pausing it, so reopening later means going through registration again.

Can I end a self-exclusion before the period is up?+

No. A self-exclusion runs for the whole period you chose, and the casino cannot shorten it or lift it for you. Plan for the length that would actually help rather than the shortest option.
