Responsible Gambling

Our commitment

Casino Alternatives is for adults aged 18 or over. We do not present gambling as a way to earn money, recover losses or deal with financial pressure. Choosing not to play is always a valid choice.

Signs of problem gambling

• Spending more money or time than you intended.
• Trying to win back a loss with another deposit.
• Borrowing, selling belongings or using money needed for bills.
• Hiding gambling or becoming anxious when asked about it.
• Neglecting work, sleep, relationships or other activities.
• Opening new accounts to get around limits or an exclusion.

Ask yourself

1. Can I comfortably afford to lose every amount I deposit?
2. Have I tried to recover a loss by playing more?
3. Do I hide how much time or money I spend gambling?
4. Is gambling affecting my sleep, work or relationships?
5. Have I found it difficult to stick to a limit or a break?
6. Would talking to someone help me regain control?

These questions are prompts for reflection, not a diagnosis. You do not need to wait for a crisis before seeking help. Contact an independent support service if you are worried about yourself or someone else.

Where to get help

Age verification

18+ This website is intended for adults aged 18 or over. Never let a child use a gambling account. Identity and age checks are part of opening an account, not something a comparison guide can help you bypass.

How to self-exclude

1. Stop depositing and open the safer gambling section of your existing account. Choose self-exclusion if you need to stop gambling, rather than relying on a promotional opt-out.
2. Contact the operator or a gambling-support service to discuss self-exclusion options. Check which accounts are covered and when the exclusion takes effect.
3. Ask your bank about gambling-payment blocks and consider blocking software on your devices. These tools provide additional barriers; they are not perfect substitutes for one another.
4. Ask the operator to stop marketing and seek support from one of the services above. Tell someone you trust what is happening.

Deposit and time limits can help you set boundaries before playing. They are not a replacement for self-exclusion or professional support when gambling is causing harm. Do not look for another casino to get around an exclusion.
