Account controls

Set It Before Play, Not After

Each tool below lives in your account, so you decide the terms before your first bet.

Deposit Limit Before Play

A deposit limit caps what you add to your balance. Switch it on before a session, especially if topping up tends to follow a losing run.

A Stopping Point for Losses

A loss limit stops your session once your net losses reach the level you picked. Choose it when chasing a bad run feels tempting.

Set a Session Reminder

A reminder pings you at intervals you choose, so a long session does not pass unnoticed. Turn it on if you lose track of time.

A Short Break From Play

A time-out locks you out of your account for a break you decide, without closing it. Use it when you want distance and plan to return.

Time to Step Away?

Self-exclusion closes your account here; the national GAMSTOP register covers other sites. Choose one or both when play has stopped feeling like a pastime.

How Do You Cap Your Spending Here?

Setting a limit needs no paperwork or phone call; it happens inside your own account.

Where Are Your Settings?

Options You Can Read

In that area, choose the responsible gambling or limits section. Read the options once through before you commit to any figure.

Control That Suits You

Pick the deposit, loss or session control that matches the habit you want to curb. More than one can be active at a time.

Saved, Not Left Open

Confirm the figure you chose, then check the screen shows the limit as active. A saved change is what counts, not a half-filled form.

How Do You Know Play Has Turned a Corner?

If several of these feel familiar, acting early matters more than waiting for a crisis, and the first step is a limit or a pause set in your account before the next session. Gambling is entertainment with a cost, not a way to make money.

Read these with honesty about the last few weeks rather than about today.

Keep Gambling Away From Under-18s

Before Payout, Not After. No one under 18 may hold an account here, so proof of identity is checked before any money is paid out. Registering with someone else's details only delays that check and freezes the balance.

Install a Filter on Shared Devices. One piece of blocking software on the household laptop or phone stops gambling pages loading for everyone who shares it. Setting it up takes a few minutes and needs no explanation to the person it protects.

Support for the People Around. Speaking plainly about money lost, without blame, usually opens more than an argument does. The National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133 advises relatives and friends as well as players, around the clock and free.

Pause and self-exclusion: not the same thing

Time-out for hours or days. A time-out is a break of hours or days taken inside your account. You choose the length when you switch it on, and access to play stays closed until the period runs out. It suits a short reset after a heavy week.

Close your access for months. Self-exclusion closes your casino access for a long period chosen in advance, and it cannot be undone early. Start it in your account settings when you want a firm stop. Play resumes only once the period ends.

Register with GAMSTOP. GAMSTOP is the national online self-exclusion scheme, run by The National Online Self Exclusion Scheme Limited. Register there and choose 6 months, 1 year, 5 years or 5 years with auto-renewal; it can take up to 24 hours to start and covers other licensed sites too. gamstop.co.uk

Straight Replies

When Play Needs to End

After this section you will know which setting to reach for and who to call.

What happens during a time-out and when can I play again?+

A time-out puts your account on hold for the length you pick, so play and deposits stop. Your balance and history stay in place, and when the period runs out you can sign in again.

Where do I go to adjust a limit I already set?+

Every limit you set stays editable in the same part of your account where you chose it. Open that section and save the change you want there. Changing figures between sessions is calmer than doing it while you play.

Can I call the helpline about a family member's gambling?+

Yes. Relatives and friends can call the National Gambling Helpline at GamCare, not only players. Advisers give free advice and can point you to local support, and the line answers at any hour.

How do limits work if I only use my phone?+

The limits section sits in the same place in the mobile version of your account. Open it on your phone, save the cap and it applies wherever you sign in. Nothing changes about what the tools do.

Can a self-exclusion be lifted before the period ends?+

No. A self-exclusion runs for the whole period you chose and cannot be cut short, so pick a length you can live with. When it ends, you decide whether to come back.

Why do I have to prove I am over 18?+

Gambling in the United Kingdom is for adults of 18 and over, and Loki Casino has to confirm that before you play or withdraw. Proof of identity is part of that check, so keep a clear copy ready.
