Advice and treatment
Tools that actually help
Deposit and loss limits
Set a daily, weekly or monthly cap in the operator's account settings before you play. Reductions apply immediately; increases must be confirmed after a cooling-off period at licensed sites.
Time-outs
A short break from 24 hours up to six weeks. Your account is locked and marketing must stop for the duration.
Self-exclusion
A longer, binding exclusion of six months or more with the operator, or across all licensed operators through a national scheme where one exists.
Reality checks and session limits
On-screen reminders of elapsed time and net position. Useful because live and slot rounds resolve very quickly.
Blocking software and bank blocks
Device-level gambling blockers plus card-level gambling blocks offered by many banks add friction that a single account setting cannot.
