The best call can be stopping.

Find practical ways to set gambling limits, recognise harmful patterns and reach confidential support for yourself or someone else.

Adults only, with limits

This website is for adults aged 18 or over, or the higher legal age in their location. Gambling involves the risk of losing money. Decide an affordable entertainment budget before playing, keep essential expenses separate and set a stopping time. Do not borrow to gamble or use gambling as an income plan.

Notice when the experience changes

Chasing a loss, hiding spending, borrowing money or repeatedly extending a session can be reasons to pause and seek support. You do not have to wait for a crisis. Turn off promotional messages and take a break from accounts or apps that make stopping harder.

Tools that can create space

Look for deposit limits, time reminders, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion in the operator’s account settings. A limit at one casino may not apply elsewhere. Consider device blocking tools and ask your bank whether gambling-payment controls are available. No single tool removes every risk.

Find confidential support

For support and information, visit GambleAware in Great Britain or Gambling Therapy for international resources. Canadian visitors can find information and help resources through the Responsible Gambling Council. Choose services appropriate to your location. If you are in immediate danger, contact local emergency services.

Helping someone else

You can seek support even if you do not gamble yourself. Speak about specific concerns without taking responsibility for another person’s losses. Protect shared finances and ask a qualified support service about next steps. Our contact inbox is not a crisis or counselling service.
