Make the limit before the first game

Gambling is entertainment with a real risk of harm, not a way to earn money or repair financial pressure. A limit set in advance is easier to follow than a decision made mid-session.

Make the limit before the first game

Practical controls

  • Set a time and spending limit before opening a game.
  • Do not chase a loss or increase stakes to change the result of a random game.
  • Use a time-out when play starts taking more attention than planned.
  • Use operator self-exclusion or GAMSTOP when a stronger break is needed.
  • Keep gambling separate from essential bills and borrowed money.

If the risk feels immediate

Contact GamCare for specialist support. If there is an immediate danger to life, call 999 or go to A&E. If you need urgent mental-health support but it is not an emergency, NHS 111 can direct you to local help.

Reel Workbench cannot place an exclusion or change an operator account.
