Responsible Gambling

Most people gamble without it becoming a problem. Some do not, and the sites listed on this website sit outside the UK's national self-exclusion scheme, which makes this page more important here than it would be elsewhere. Please read it.

National Gambling Helpline: 0808 8020 133 — free, confidential and open 24 hours a day.

Signs worth taking seriously

Chasing losses with bigger stakes. Gambling with money set aside for something else. Hiding how much you are playing from people close to you. Feeling irritable when you cannot play. Borrowing to fund it. Any one of those is worth acting on, and none of them gets better by being ignored.

Tools that actually work

GamStop blocks every casino licensed by the UK Gambling Commission for six months, one year or five years, from a single registration at gamstop.co.uk. It does not cover the operators listed on this site, and that is a genuine gap rather than a feature.

Gamban and GAMBLOCK are software you install on your own phone, tablet and computer. Because they block by website rather than by licence, they do cover the casinos listed here. If GamStop is not enough for you, this is the tool that goes further.

Bank blocks. Most UK banks will now refuse gambling transactions on request, usually with a cooling-off period before it can be switched off again. It is free and takes a few minutes in the app.

Deposit caps. Every operator listed here lets you set your own limit. Note that the cap applies to that site alone, so it has to be set at each one separately.

Free support

GamCare — gamcare.org.uk — runs the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133 and provides free treatment across Britain. It is a charity, not a blocking register, despite how often it is described as one.

Gordon Moody offers residential and intensive support for severe gambling addiction. Gamblers Anonymous runs free peer meetings nationwide. GamFam and Gambling with Lives support families and people bereaved by gambling-related suicide.

None of these will judge you and none of them costs anything.

A straight word from this site

This website earns money when readers open casino accounts. That is a reason to be sceptical of anything it tells you, so here is the part that runs against its own interest: if you have self-excluded, or you are reading this at three in the morning trying to find a way back in, the right move is to close the tab and ring 0808 8020 133. Nothing on the rest of this site is worth more than that.

Affiliate disclosure. Non Gamstop Casinos UK may earn a commission when you open an account through a link on this page. It never changes the ranking, the wagering figures or the reviews — the order is set by testing and the offers are quoted as the operators publish them.

18+ only. Gambling involves risk and should never be treated as a way to make money. The casinos listed here hold licences outside the United Kingdom and are therefore not connected to GamStop. If gambling is causing you harm, the National Gambling Helpline is free and confidential on 0808 8020 133.
