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
