Visit gamblersanonymous.org.ukSigns Gambling May Be Becoming A Problem
- Spending more time or money than you intended, or chasing losses
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or preoccupied when you're not gambling
- Borrowing money, or using funds meant for bills, to gamble
- Hiding gambling activity from family or friends
- Gambling affecting your work, studies, sleep, or relationships
Tools Every UK-Licensed Brand Should Offer
Deposit limits — daily, weekly, or monthly caps on how much you can add to your account.
Reality checks — periodic reminders of how long you've been active and how much you've spent.
Time-out — a short break from your account, typically a day to a few weeks.
Self-exclusion — a longer block on your account, alongside national self-exclusion through GamStop.
Look for these tools in the account settings of any brand before you register. Every review on this resource notes whether these controls are clearly surfaced.
Concerned About Someone Else?
Gambling problems can affect the people around someone just as much as the individual. GamCare and BeGambleAware both offer free advice for family members and friends, including how to start a conversation and where to find support for yourself.
