At monopolycasinouk.example, we explain the controls available for managing casino play and finding support. Gambling is restricted to people aged 18 or above. If play has stopped being enjoyable, pause and consider how it is affecting your spending, health and daily life.

Set a boundary for deposits

A deposit limit caps the money added to an account over a chosen daily, weekly or monthly period. A net deposit limit instead measures deposits after subtracting withdrawals within that period. The account can have one financial limit in effect, rather than both types together.

Keep track of playing time

Session reminders provide a prompt after 30 minutes of play. A session limit sets a daily time allowance; once that allowance is used, further wagering is blocked until the limit resets.

Session limits can be adjusted in account settings, but an increase cannot take effect before the current session has ended. Support staff cannot change or override these limits.

Choose a break from the account

Account Cool Off prevents login for a chosen break of between 24 hours and six weeks. For a longer break, self-exclusion can last beyond six weeks and extend to five years. Contact customer service after the selected exclusion period has finished if you wish to reactivate the account.

Advertising preferences can also be changed through the My Account contact settings.

Recognise when gambling is causing harm

Consider how often any of these experiences apply, rather than simply answering yes or no:

• Spending on gambling goes beyond what you can afford to lose.
• Larger stakes feel necessary to get the same excitement.
• You return after a loss in an attempt to recover the money.
• Borrowing or selling possessions helps finance play.
• Gambling contributes to stress, guilt or household money problems.
• Other people express concern about your gambling, or you feel control slipping.

Find support beyond account controls

TalkBanStop combines confidential advice with access to free Gamban blocking software and help registering with GamStop. GamStop provides voluntary nationwide self-exclusion covering online gambling businesses with a Great Britain licence.

GamProtect operates differently. It covers participating businesses and is initiated by a participating operator when its safer-gambling criteria are met. It is not a self-service alternative to GamStop; a registration remains active for five years.

GamCare runs the National Gambling Helpline: call 0808 8020 133 for confidential help, free of charge, at any hour. Chat support is also available. Gambling Therapy offers online help in several languages, while Gamblers Anonymous provides peer support for people experiencing gambling problems.
