Responsible Gaming Guide
Slot games should be enjoyable entertainment, never a financial strategy. SlotsGB is committed to promoting responsible gambling practices to ensure your experience remains positive and safe.
Principles of Safe Gaming
Safe gambling starts with the right mindset. Accept that losses are part of playing slot games—the house always has a mathematical edge. Set strict budgets before playing and never exceed them. View your gambling budget as an entertainment expense, similar to cinema tickets or dining out.
Warning Signs
Be honest about your behaviour. Warning signs that gambling may be becoming problematic include: spending more than you can afford, chasing losses, gambling when upset, hiding gambling from others, borrowing money to play, neglecting responsibilities, and feeling unable to stop.
Protection Tools Available
UK-licensed casinos must offer various protection tools. Use them proactively.
Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on deposits. Decreases take effect immediately; increases require 24-hour cooling-off periods to prevent impulsive decisions.
Session Time Limits
Set alerts reminding you how long you've been playing slot games. Some casinos offer automatic logout after specified durations.
Self-Exclusion Options
Individual casino exclusion or GAMSTOP national scheme blocks access to all UKGC-licensed sites. Choose 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years.
