Gambling should remain entertainment. When it stops being entertainment, the change is usually visible in behaviour before it shows up in finances.

Common warning signs include:

• Spending more time or money on gambling than originally planned.
• Chasing losses with larger deposits or longer sessions.
• Borrowing money, selling possessions, or hiding gambling activity from family.
• Feeling restless, anxious or irritable when not gambling.
• Neglecting work, study, relationships or sleep because of play.
• Lying about the amount of time or money spent on casino games.

If any of these patterns sound familiar, take a break. Self-assessment tools are offered by the support organisations listed further down this page, and most are free and anonymous.

Every licensed online casino is required to provide player protection tools. These are available from your account settings, usually under a heading such as "Responsible Gambling", "Limits" or "Account Safety".

Common tools

• Deposit limits — set a daily, weekly or monthly cap on how much you can deposit. Reductions usually apply immediately; increases require a cooling-off period.
• Loss limits — cap net losses over a fixed period, independent of deposits.
• Wager and session limits — restrict total stakes or how long a single session can last.
• Reality checks — pop-up reminders showing time played and net result.
• Time-out — a short break (24 hours to 6 weeks) during which your account is locked.
• Self-exclusion — a longer block of 6 months, 1 year, 5 years or permanent. Once activated, it cannot be reversed before the chosen period ends.

National self-exclusion registers

Some jurisdictions operate a central register that blocks access across all licensed operators in that market. Examples include GAMSTOP (UK), ROFUS (Denmark), Spelpaus (Sweden), OASIS (Germany) and Cruks (Netherlands). Registering once covers every licensed site in that country.

For details on how account data is handled when limits are set or self-exclusion is activated, see the privacy policy. General account rules are covered in the terms and conditions.
