Keep Control from the Start
Keep It Balanced: Spending Limits
New UK expectations mean players set clear spend limits before adding funds. Most licensed brands now offer quick limit controls so gaming fits within a normal budget.
- Choose daily, weekly, or monthly limits that reflect your plan.
- Lower limits take effect straight away.
- Raising limits requires a cooling-off period (for example, 24 hours).
Take a Break When You Need It
Pausing often helps you stay in control. Licensed platforms provide straightforward options to lock an account temporarily.
- Short pauses such as 24 hours.
- Longer breaks spanning several days or weeks.
- Fixed exclusions for extended periods when required.
Access resumes only when the chosen time ends, supporting any commitment you set.
Stay Aware of Your Activity
Clear transaction histories show how much you add, withdraw, and spend over any period. Honest numbers make it easier to adjust habits early.
Reality Checks & Time Reminders
Reality check prompts appear after set intervals (for example, 20 minutes, one hour, or two hours). A quick reminder helps you keep gaming time in line with the rest of your schedule.
Warning Signs
- Regularly exceeding planned spend or chasing losses.
- Hiding behaviour from people close to you.
- Feeling pressure, guilt, or anxiety about activity.
- Ignoring bills, work, or family commitments to continue gaming.
If any of these signs feel familiar, reach out for support and consider additional blocking tools immediately.
