Stay in Control of Your Play
Gambling should stay entertainment, never a way to make money or escape pressure. This page shows you every tool we offer, where to switch it on, and who to call if things feel heavier than they should. Nothing here is judgemental; asking for a limit is one of the smartest moves a player can make.
How We Protect Your Wellbeing
We monitor play patterns for early signs of harm, including sharp increases in deposit frequency, prolonged overnight sessions and repeated failed-then-successful deposits in short order. When our systems flag a pattern, our trained team reviews it and, where appropriate, contacts you with a private message about limits before a small issue grows.
Since our launch in 2025, every account at Gamblits Casino has carried reality checks and session reminders by default, not as opt-in extras. Our 24/7 live chat team receives specific training in handling limit requests with discretion, and a limit request is never questioned, delayed or discouraged.
Warning Signs to Watch For
Nobody sets out to lose control. These signals appear gradually, and spotting one early is enough reason to pause and tighten your limits.
- Chasing losses: returning straight after a loss to win money back, often with larger stakes than planned.
- Hiding play: concealing deposits, sessions or balances from a partner, family or friends.
- Borrowing to gamble: using credit, loans, payday lenders or borrowed cash to fund deposits.
- Betting beyond the budget: gambling money set aside for rent, bills or groceries.
- Mood changes: irritability or restlessness when not gambling, or gambling to relieve stress, anxiety or low mood.
- Loss of time: sessions running for hours longer than intended, especially overnight.
- Failed cutbacks: several unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop.
- Neglecting basics: sleep, work, studies or relationships slipping because of gambling.
Set Limits in Your Account
Every tool below is available in your profile under Account Settings, and several are also reachable via the responsible gaming link in the site footer. Each takes under two minutes to activate and applies instantly.
- Deposit limits: cap the amount you can deposit per day, week or month; extra deposits are blocked once the cap is reached.
- Loss limits: set a maximum net loss over a chosen period; play pauses for the remainder of that period when the limit is hit.
- Wagering limits: restrict total stakes per day or week regardless of outcome.
- Session reminders: pop-up notifications at intervals you choose (15, 30 or 60 minutes) showing time played and net result.
- Session timeouts: take a short break with the account locked for a fixed period, from 24 hours upward.
- Cooling-off periods: a medium-term lock of up to 30 days, with all marketing emails paused for the duration.
- Self-exclusion: a firm, longer lockout from the platform, described in full in the next section.
Self Exclusion Explained Clearly
You can self-exclude directly from Account Settings or by contacting our support team at any hour. Choose the duration that matches your situation; longer options cannot be shortened once confirmed.
| Duration | What happens |
|---|---|
| 24 hours | Account locked for one day; reversible after expiry |
| 7 days | One-week lockout; marketing paused; reversible after expiry |
| 30 days | Cooling-off lock; reversible after expiry |
| 6 months | Full self-exclusion; irreversible for the whole term |
| Permanent | Account closed permanently; cannot be reopened |
Balances and open bets
When self-exclusion begins, any remaining balance is returned to your original deposit method, and open bets are settled at completion with winnings paid out to you. You cannot place new wagers during the exclusion period, and we stop all promotional communication immediately.
Reactivation: at the end of a fixed-term exclusion, your account stays closed until you contact support and complete a review conversation, including a cool-down of 24 hours after your request. For permanent exclusions, we delete your data in line with retention rules and refuse any new account opened in your name, matching the details of your exclusion record.
Keeping Gambling Away From Minors
You must be 18 or older to hold an account with us. Our KYC process verifies age at registration and again before your first withdrawal, using government-issued identification. Accounts found to belong to anyone under 18 are closed immediately and balances refunded.
If minors have access to your devices, we urge you to use parental control software to block gambling sites. Cyber Patrol, GamBlock and Net Nanny each filter casino URLs, and tools built into Windows, macOS, iOS and Android can restrict app installation and site access per profile. Never leave a logged-in session unattended, and never share your account credentials with anyone under 18.

Talk to Our Team Anytime
Our live chat operates 24/7, and any agent can activate limits or start self-exclusion on request without asking why. For matters needing a written record, email us and we reply within one working day. When you contact us about responsible gambling, your request is handled by a specialist team, kept confidential from marketing, and never used to offer you bonuses or win-back incentives.
Ask one honest question of yourself: would I still be playing if I could only lose what remains in my monthly budget? If the answer is no, use the tools above today. They cost nothing, take minutes, and you keep every one of them under your own control.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I reduce a deposit limit straight away?
Yes. Decreasing any limit takes effect immediately. Increases, however, only apply after a 24-hour cooling period so that decisions are made calmly.
What happens to my welcome bonus if I self-exclude?
Any active bonus and pending winnings are voided under our fair-play rules, but your deposited balance is always returned to you in full.
Does GAMSTOP cover Gamblits Casino?
GAMSTOP covers UK-licensed operators. We honour it as good practice and encourage anyone using GAMSTOP to also self-exclude directly with us for complete coverage.
Will you contact me while I am excluded?
No. All marketing emails, SMS and promotional messages stop the moment your exclusion begins, and they stay off until you return and opt back in.
