Responsible Gambling

Gambling should be fun and under control. At casinoenlignereel.com we support responsible play and encourage you to use the tools and support available. This page provides information and links to help you stay in control and get help if you need it.

Set limits

UK-licensed casinos are required to offer tools to help you manage your gambling. These typically include deposit limits (daily, weekly, or monthly), loss limits, and session time reminders. You can usually set these in your account settings on the operator's website. We strongly recommend setting a budget before you play and sticking to it. Never chase losses or gamble with money you cannot afford to lose. Gambling is not a way to make money; the odds are designed to favour the operator over the long term. Treat any money you spend as the cost of entertainment, and only gamble with funds that you can afford to lose without affecting your finances or your wellbeing.

If you find it difficult to stick to limits, consider using lower limits, taking more frequent breaks, or seeking support. Many operators also offer "reality check" reminders that pop up at intervals to show how long you have been playing and how much you have spent or won during the session.

Self-exclusion

If you need a break from gambling, self-exclusion is an option. In the UK, GamStop is a free service that allows you to self-exclude from all gambling sites licensed by the UK Gambling Commission. Once you register with GamStop, you choose a period of exclusion (six months, one year, or five years), and you will be prevented from opening new accounts or using existing accounts with participating operators during that time. It is important to self-exclude from all operators you use, as GamStop covers only UK-licensed sites. Individual casinos and betting sites also offer their own self-exclusion options, which may allow you to exclude for shorter or longer periods. If you have already self-excluded and need to extend the period or need support, contact GamStop or the operator directly.

Get help

If gambling is affecting your life, your relationships, or your finances, free and confidential support is available. BeGambleAware (begambleaware.org) provides information, advice, and support to anyone affected by problem gambling. Gamcare (gamcare.org.uk) offers free information, advice, and emotional support, including a 24/7 helpline and live chat. The National Gambling Helpline (0808 8020 133) is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for confidential advice and support. These services are free and do not require you to give your name unless you choose to. There are also specialist organisations that offer counselling, support groups, and treatment for gambling addiction. Your GP can refer you to NHS services if needed. Remember that problem gambling is a recognised condition and that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Signs of problem gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. Some signs include: spending more money or time on gambling than you intended; chasing losses; borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble; lying to family or friends about gambling; feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling; or gambling to escape problems or to feel better. If you recognise these signs in yourself or someone close to you, reaching out for support early can make a real difference. The organisations listed above can help you or your family understand the options available.

18+ only

Gambling is for adults only. In the UK, you must be 18 or over to gamble. We do not target minors, and we do not allow anyone under 18 to use this site or any linked gambling services. Our age verification modal is one of the steps we take to discourage underage access. If you are under 18, please do not use this site or any linked gambling services. If you are a parent or guardian and are concerned that a minor may have accessed gambling content or services, contact the relevant operator or seek advice from BeGambleAware or Gamcare.

Our commitment

We are an information and comparison site. We do not operate any gambling service. We do, however, take responsible gambling seriously. We provide links to licensed operators that are required to offer responsible gambling tools and to comply with UK advertising and consumer protection rules. We encourage you to use the resources on this page and on the sites we link to, and to gamble only within your means. If you have questions or feedback about this page, contact us at info@casinoenlignereel.com.
