Limits you can set
- Deposit limits: cap how much you can add to your account per day, week or month.
- Loss & wager limits: restrict how much you can lose or stake over a period.
- Session & time limits: get reminded, or logged out, after a set time.
Reality checks & time-outs
A reality check is a periodic pop-up showing how long you have been playing and your net result. A time-out is a short cooling-off period — usually 24 hours to six weeks — that temporarily blocks access without a full self-exclusion.
Blocking software
Device-level blockers stop you accessing gambling sites and apps entirely. Popular free and paid options include GAMBAN and BetBlocker. They work well alongside self-exclusion.
Where to find these tools
You will normally find limits and time-outs in the responsible-gambling or account-settings area of each bookmaker. Options vary by operator and country — check the operator's own site for the current features. For more, see responsible gambling or our Help Center.
