Gambling should be treated as paid entertainment, not as a way to make money, recover losses or deal with financial pressure. Online casinos can involve real financial risk, and it is important to decide your limits before you start playing.
Keep Gambling Within Clear Limits
- Set a spending limit that you can afford to lose.
- Decide how long you will play before opening a casino account.
- Do not borrow money to gamble.
- Do not increase stakes in an attempt to recover previous losses.
- Take regular breaks and avoid gambling when stressed, upset or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Warning Signs
Gambling may be becoming harmful if it is taking priority over work, relationships or normal expenses; if you regularly chase losses; if you hide the amount you spend; or if stopping feels difficult even after you have decided to do so.
GamStop and Self-Exclusion
GamStop is a UK self-exclusion service for gambling websites licensed by the UK Gambling Commission. Casinos outside GamStop are not part of that network. If you have already registered with GamStop because you want to stop gambling, do not use offshore casinos to work around that decision.
Support
If gambling is causing financial, emotional or relationship problems, consider speaking to a recognised gambling support service or a healthcare professional. You can also use blocking tools and payment controls offered by banks or specialist services to reduce access to gambling.
Age Restriction
Ubble is intended only for people aged 18 or over. Gambling by minors is not permitted.
