Chipmakers Hall
Tools licensed sites must offer
UKGC-licensed operators provide deposit limits, reality checks, time-outs and self-exclusion options inside the account area. On a phone, those settings should sit a few taps from the main menu — we factor that discoverability into mobile grades.
GAMSTOP
GAMSTOP is the free national self-exclusion scheme for online gambling licensed in Great Britain. Once active, participating operators must block your accounts for the period you select. It is stronger than closing a single app.
Warning signs
- Chasing losses or hiding play from people close to you
- Borrowing money to gamble
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut back
- Letting sessions run far past the time you planned
If several of these sound familiar, pause and speak to a specialist service before opening another app.
