Responsible gambling

This page is about staying in control. The casinos listed on Passport Optional accept players of 18+ and over only; all of them provide limits and self-exclusion, and United Kingdom has free help lines for anyone worried about their play.

Warning signs

Typical warning signs: stakes that keep growing, trying to win back what was lost, playing with borrowed money, keeping play secret, or irritability when you cannot play. One of them is reason enough to pause.

Tools every licensed casino offers

Before you play, fix a deposit limit for the day, week or month. Operators also provide loss limits, session reminders and short time-outs; all of them are in the account settings and take effect immediately.

If limits are not enough, self-exclusion locks the account for the time you choose; it cannot be lifted ahead of schedule. In Great Britain the free national scheme is GamStop: one registration blocks every licensed online operator for the period you choose.

Free help in United Kingdom

These services talk to players and relatives free of charge and in confidence:

Protecting minors

Nobody under 18+ may play. If children use the same device, use a filtering tool and keep passwords to yourself; operators verify age and close accounts opened by minors.

Our part

We do not handle player money. Each card shows the licence the operator states, every button carries the terms line, and the help lines of United Kingdom are in the footer of every page.
