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.
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:
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:
- Log in to your casino account and navigate to Responsible Gambling or Account Settings.
- Choose "Self-Exclusion" and select a period (minimum: 6 months).
- Confirm your exclusion — it takes effect immediately.
- 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 under-18s, 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
