Play Safe
eSports betting should be entertaining — never stressful, never harmful. Here are the tools, limits, and support networks to keep it that way.
18+ Only
Strict age verification on all UKGC-licensed sites. Underage gambling is illegal and never tolerated.
Set Limits
Deposit, loss, and time limits are legally required — and they work. Set yours before you play.
Take Breaks
24-hour cool-off or 6-month self-exclusion. No questions, immediate effect.
Built-in protection tools
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps. Once set, limits cannot be increased for 24 hours — this cooling-off period is legally mandated by the UKGC.
On-screen pop-ups that show exactly how long you've been playing and your net position. Set alerts every 15, 30, or 60 minutes.
Short break (24h – 6 weeks) or full self-exclusion via GamStop. Your accounts will be closed across all UKGC operators — no exceptions.
Quick self-assessment
Ask yourself: Do I chase losses? Have I lied about my betting? Does it affect my mood or relationships? One "yes" is a warning sign. Two or more — reach out today.
