Limits and Self Exclusion

Players can set daily deposit, weekly loss or session time limits directly in an operator's account settings, and should contact the operator's support team if the controls are not visible. Self exclusion can be requested through the individual operator or through GAMSTOP, a national scheme that blocks participation with all licensed online gambling businesses in Great Britain. Keeping registration details up to date and avoiding any attempt to circumvent an exclusion are essential for effective protection.
