Play Audit Room
Safer gambling in the UK
Licensed operators must offer tools to help you stay in control. This page explains what exists, where to find it and who to call if gambling stops feeling like entertainment.
Gambling is not income
Every casino game carries a house edge over time. Bonuses and free spins do not remove that mathematics — they add rules. Treat any money staked as the cost of entertainment, not an investment strategy.
Tools on licensed sites
UKGC-licensed operators must let you set deposit limits, loss limits, session time reminders and cooling-off periods from your account settings. Reality checks pop up at intervals showing net position. These tools work only if you set them before chasing losses.
GamStop self-exclusion
GamStop is free and covers all UKGC-licensed online gambling including every brand compared on Play Audit Room. Choose six months, one year or five years — participating sites must block you for the full period. Register at gamstop.co.uk.
Warning signs
Chasing losses, borrowing to gamble, hiding activity from family or feeling anxious when not playing are common red flags. Stopping early is easier than recovering later. Speak to GamCare on 0808 8020 133 — it is confidential and available 24/7.
