Keeping play in proportion

Practical habits and the tools built into every account: reminders, breaks and self-exclusion.

Set the evening before it starts

Decide how long you will play before you open a game. The reminder setting in your account shows a pause screen after the time you choose, and auto-play stops for it.

Breaks that actually stop play

From your account you can take a break of one day, a week or a month. It signs you out everywhere and the account cannot play until it ends.

When it stops being fun

If play is affecting your time, money, sleep or mood, the free and confidential National Gambling Helpline is open around the clock on 0808 8020 133. Our player care page lists other UK services.
