Gambling is entertainment, and the money it costs should be money you can lose. It is not a way to earn, and it is not a way to win back what has already gone. Only adults aged 18 or over may hold an account with us.
Tools you can set on your account
- Deposit and session limits, for the amount and the period you choose.
- Reality checks, which interrupt play at an interval you set.
- Cooling-off, a short pause that ends by itself.
- Self-exclusion, which cannot be shortened or cancelled once it is set.
- Account closure, for a minimum of 30 days.
Ask our live chat team for any of them, at any hour. A lower limit takes effect as soon as it is applied, and nobody will try to talk you out of it.
We are not part of GAMSTOP
Our licence is not issued in Britain, and we do not take part in GAMSTOP, the UK self-exclusion scheme. A GAMSTOP registration will not stop an account being opened here, so if you have joined it, please stay away from us and ask our team to exclude you as well.
Blocking software
Gamban blocks gambling sites on phones and computers, including sites that sit outside GAMSTOP. On a shared device, a parental filter keeps these pages away from anyone under 18.
Signs worth taking seriously
Chasing losses, staking money set aside for bills, borrowing to play, hiding how much you gamble, or feeling restless when you stop.
