This page sets out where to find independent gambling-help organisations from this site, what this site can and cannot do about your gambling, and some practical habits worth deciding on before you follow any operator link. Nothing on this page substitutes for controls held elsewhere.
Find help through the links on every page
Every page of this site, including this one, carries links to three independent gambling-help organisations: begambleaware.org, gamblingtherapy.org and gamcare.org.uk. These are the only links on the site that are not commercial. Unlike the operator links, they carry no sponsored marking, they are set to nofollow, and they open in a separate tab on the organisations' own websites. This site receives nothing when a reader follows them.
Keep the eighteen-and-over restriction in mind
The eighteen-and-over restriction is repeated throughout this site, including on the front page and at the end of every operator listing. Nobody's age is verified on this site and no gambling takes place on it; any age check happens at the destination you are sent to, not here.
Understand what account controls this site cannot switch on
Controls such as deposit caps, loss caps, reality checks, cooling-off periods or self-exclusion belong to an operator account. This site has no account, no form and no server-side application, so nothing published here can switch one on, check one or enforce one. Each of the ten operator listings ends with the same line: check availability and the current terms at the destination before claiming anything, because eligibility rules and terms apply there and can change without notice. Everything you can actually do with money happens after you leave this site — each operator link redirects to a third party, and from that point the destination's own rules, checks and account controls apply, not anything published here. No advertising or behavioural profiling network is present in these pages, so nothing here is targeted at a reader who has shown risky behaviour.
Build a few practical habits before you start
- Decide the amount you're willing to spend before you start, and treat it as already spent — deciding in advance removes the pressure of deciding in the moment.
- Never chase a loss; a loss is a result, not a signal that a win is due.
- Keep gambling out of borrowed money, so a loss stays a loss and doesn't become a debt.
- Take breaks — stepping away resets the sense of urgency that long sessions build up.
- Involve someone else early, while it is still easy to talk about, rather than after it has become harder to raise.
