Responsible Gambling
Gambling should always be fun. If it stops being enjoyable, it's time to stop.
Our Commitment
At ByTheGamblers, we take responsible gambling seriously. We only review and recommend casinos that are fully licensed and that offer robust responsible gambling tools, including deposit limits, self-exclusion options, and reality checks.
Signs to Watch For
- • Spending more money than you can afford to lose
- • Chasing losses or borrowing money to gamble
- • Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed about gambling
- • Neglecting responsibilities, relationships, or work
- • Gambling to escape problems or relieve stress
- • Lying about how much time or money you spend gambling
Self-Exclusion
If you feel you need to take a break from gambling, self-exclusion allows you to block yourself from all online gambling sites for a chosen period. In the UK, GAMSTOP provides a free national self-exclusion scheme.
When you register with GAMSTOP, you will be excluded from all UKGC-licensed gambling websites for a minimum of 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years.
Most individual casinos also offer their own self-exclusion and cooling-off tools in your account settings under "Responsible Gambling" or "Player Protection."
