Your wellbeing matters

Responsible Gambling

Gambling should always be entertainment - never a way to make money or escape problems. If you or someone you know needs help, support is available right now.

Immediate support by locationChoose your region ↓Verified helplines
Meet your local legal age. The minimum gambling age varies by jurisdiction and product and may be 18, 19 or 21. You must meet the legal age where you are located; if you do not, please leave this site.

Immediate Gambling Support by Region

Choose the service for where you are currently located. GambleDude does not infer your location, and phone access or opening hours can differ by country, state, province or territory.

Are You Gambling Responsibly?

Most people who gamble do so without any problems. But for some, gambling can become harmful. Ask yourself the following questions honestly:

Do you spend more money on gambling than you can afford to lose?
Do you gamble to escape stress, anxiety, or personal problems?
Have you ever chased losses by placing larger bets to win back money?
Do you hide your gambling from family or friends?
Have you borrowed money or sold possessions to fund gambling?
Do you feel irritable or restless when you try to stop gambling?
Has gambling caused problems with relationships or work?
Have you tried to stop gambling but been unable to?

If you answered yes to two or more of these questions, you may be experiencing problem gambling. Please reach out to one of the organisations below - all services are free and confidential.

Self-Exclusion Tools

Every casino on GambleDude is required to offer self-exclusion. You can self-exclude for periods ranging from 6 months to lifetime. Here's how to do it:

  1. Log in to your casino account and navigate to Responsible Gambling or Account Settings.
  2. Choose "Self-Exclusion" and select a period (minimum: 6 months).
  3. Confirm your exclusion - it takes effect immediately.
  4. Also register with GAMSTOP (UK) to block all UKGC-licensed sites with one registration.

Once self-excluded, the casino is legally obligated to close your account, return your balance, and prevent you from re-opening during the exclusion period.

Deposit & Time Limits

All responsible casinos allow you to set deposit limits (daily, weekly, monthly) and session time limits. We recommend setting these before you start playing, not after a losing session. Limits take effect immediately but can only be reduced immediately - increases take 24-72 hours to prevent impulsive changes.

Protecting Young People

If you share a device with minors, use parental control software to block gambling sites. Options include:

  • Gamban - blocks 45,000+ gambling sites across all devices
  • Net Nanny - broad content filtering with gambling category
  • BetBlocker - free tool, blocks gambling sites on up to 4 devices
