Play for fun with money you can spare, and decide your spend before the session starts rather than during it. When gambling stops being fun, use the controls and contacts set out here.
Controls on your account
- Deposit limit: a ceiling on what you can add over a chosen period.
- Time out: a break from play for a set length of time.
- Self-exclusion: the account closed for a longer period or permanently.
Live chat applies any of these on request, around the clock.
DuffSpin's licence and GAMSTOP
DuffSpin is not licensed by the UK Gambling Commission and not part of GAMSTOP. A GAMSTOP exclusion therefore does not stop play with DuffSpin, so if you rely on it, ask DuffSpin to exclude you directly too. Gamban and similar blockers stop gambling sites loading on your devices.
Warning signs
- You raise stakes or deposits to recover losses.
- Gambling eats into money for essentials.
- You play for longer than planned, or keep it secret.
- You borrow money to gamble.
- You feel restless or irritable when you cut back.
If one of these rings true, set a limit today and speak to someone.
