Safer gambling

Responsible gambling

Gambling is entertainment with a built-in house edge — not a way to fix bills or make income. I play small amounts I can afford to lose entirely. If you cannot say the same, stop before you deposit.

Practical steps

• Set deposit limits in your account settings on day one — every UKGC-licensed site must offer this.
• Use reality checks and session timers if you lose track of time on mobile.
• Never borrow money to gamble or chase losses with bigger deposits.
• Register with GAMSTOP for free self-exclusion from all UK-licensed online operators.

Under 18

It is illegal for anyone under 18 to gamble in the UK. Slot Comparison UK is an 18+ site and lists operators who verify age at registration.
