Responsible gambling

18+ only

You must be 18 or over to gamble in Great Britain. Licensed operators verify age and identity before you can deposit. If you share a device with children, log out after each session and consider parental-control software.

Tools inside the Midnite app

Every operator licensed by the Gambling Commission must provide these. You will find them under Account.

• Deposit limits. Cap what you can pay in per day, week or month. Decreases apply at once; increases take 24 hours.
• Reality checks. A reminder on screen of how long you have been playing.
• Time-out. A break from 24 hours up to six weeks.
• Self-exclusion. Close your account for six months or longer. It cannot be reversed during that period.
• Activity statement. A plain record of deposits, withdrawals and net position.

Blocking beyond one app

• GAMSTOP is free and covers all online operators licensed in Great Britain for six months, one year or five years.
• Bank gambling blocks. Most UK banks let you switch off gambling payments in their app.
• Blocking software such as Gamban or BetBlocker stops gambling sites and apps loading on your devices.

Signs it is time to stop

• Staking more to win back what you have lost
• Betting with money meant for rent, bills or food
• Hiding how much you gamble from people close to you
• Feeling anxious, irritable or low when you are not betting
• Borrowing, or selling things, to fund gambling

If any of these sound familiar, talk to someone today. The helpline above is free and confidential. The NHS also runs specialist gambling clinics across England, and you can refer yourself.

Worried about someone else?

GamCare and GamAnon support family and friends as well as the person gambling.

Our own approach

This site is written for adults. We describe offers with their significant conditions, we do not present gambling as a way to make money or solve financial problems, and we show examples rather than promises of winnings.
