Our approach
At List My Casino, player wellbeing comes first. Gambling is a form of entertainment — not a route to income. We promote informed choices, sensible limits and regular breaks. You must be 18+ and located in the United Kingdom to use gambling services.
Safer play essentials
- Treat gambling as leisure, not a way to make money.
- Set a budget before you start and never chase losses.
- Plan session time limits and take frequent breaks.
- Avoid gambling when tired, stressed or under the influence.
- Balance gambling with other activities and responsibilities.
Warning signs
If any of these resonate, seek help early:
- Thinking about gambling most of the time.
- Needing bigger stakes to feel the same excitement.
- Finding it difficult to cut down; irritability when trying.
- Using gambling to cope with stress or negative moods.
- Hiding gambling from family or friends.
- Impact on work, studies, relationships or finances.
- Borrowing to fund gambling.
UK tools and protections
- Deposit limits: set daily, weekly or monthly limits with licensed operators.
- Time‑outs and reality checks: enable reminders and short cooling‑off periods.
- Self‑exclusion: register with GAMSTOP to block access to participating UK‑licensed online gambling sites.
