Responsible Gambling

Responsible Gambling

Gambling is an act of entertainment. It should never become a means of earning money or of escaping from problems in one's life. If it does, help is available around the clock, free of charge.

The facts about gambling

All casino games have a built-in mathematical advantage for the house. The RTP for slots and other games indicates the percentage of all money that will be paid back to players over millions of spins. This does not guarantee any outcome of any given gambling session. While it is possible to win money during any given session, the odds are against profiting from gambling over the long term.

This website exists to help gambling patrons find the best available RTP settings for the best possible experience while gambling at a casino. The RTP settings will minimise the house advantage for gamblers. This does not alter the fundamental nature of gambling.

Warning signs of problem gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Common signs of problem gambling include:

Spending more money or time gambling than you intended
Chasing losses - gambling more to try to recover what you have lost
Feeling anxious, irritable, or low when not gambling
Lying to family or friends about how much you gamble
Borrowing money or selling things to fund gambling
Gambling affecting your work, relationships, or sleep
Feeling unable to stop even when you want to

Recognising these signs is the first step towards addressing a possible problem with gambling. Professional assistance for problem gamblers is effective and available at no cost.

Responsible gambling tools

All UK-licensed gambling sites must offer the following tools to help gamblers:

Deposit limits

Casino players can set a maximum amount of money that they will deposit into the casino. Any changes to lower limits will be applied immediately. Higher limits will require a waiting period.

Session time limits

Gamblers can also implement a maximum length for their gambling session. The casino is required to display the length of the player's session and to notify the player when they reach the pre-set limit for that session.

Reality checks

Gambling sites offer pop-ups that alert the player of the length of their gambling session and the amount of money they have won or lost during that session.

Self-exclusion

Gamblers can voluntarily ban themselves from the casino for a period of time or forever. Gamstop will allow a player to self-exclude themselves from all licensed casinos in the UK.

Account cooling-off / self-exclusion

Players can take a break from gambling for 24 hours, a week or longer. Support staff at the gambling site can be contacted to activate this function if it is not visible in the user settings on the website.
