All UK Gambling Commission licensed operators are legally required to offer the following player protection tools. Use them proactively — setting limits before you need them is far more effective than trying to set them in the middle of a losing session.
| Tool | What it does | Where to find it |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit Limit | Caps how much you can deposit per day, week or month. Increases require a 24-hour cooling-off period. Decreases take effect immediately. | Account Settings → Responsible Gambling on any licensed bookmaker |
| Loss Limit | Stops you from losing more than a specified amount over a set period. Bets that would take you over the limit are declined. | Account Settings → Responsible Gambling on any licensed bookmaker |
| Wager Limit | Caps the total stake you can place per day, week or month. Useful for controlling volume rather than just spend. | Account Settings → Responsible Gambling on any licensed bookmaker |
| Session Time Limit | Automatically logs you out after a set amount of time and shows you a summary of your session. Often includes a pop-up reality check. | Account Settings → Responsible Gambling on any licensed bookmaker |
| Cooling-Off Period | Temporarily suspends your account for 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days. You cannot reverse this once activated. | Account Settings → Self-Exclusion on any licensed bookmaker |
| Self-Exclusion | Closes your account for a minimum period (usually 6 months to 5 years). All licensed operators must honour your request within 24 hours. | Account Settings → Self-Exclusion, or contact customer support directly |
| GamStop | National self-exclusion scheme that blocks you from all licensed UK gambling sites simultaneously. Free, instant and covers all licensed operators. | gamstop.co.uk |
| GamBan | Software that blocks gambling websites and apps across all your devices — including international sites not covered by GamStop. | gamban.com |
All of the following services are free and confidential. You do not need to be in crisis to reach out — many people contact them simply to talk through their situation or get advice on managing their gambling.
Phone numbers and services correct at time of publication. If you are outside the UK, search for your national gambling help service — most countries with legal gambling have a free national helpline.
