Responsible Gambling

Last checked: 6 November 2026

Gambling is for adults aged 18 and over. It should be entertainment, never a way to make money or pay debts. If it has stopped being fun, these tools and services can help, and they are free.

Warning signs

• Spending more money or time than you meant to.
• Chasing losses or trying to win back what you lost.
• Borrowing money, or selling things, to gamble.
• Hiding your gambling from people close to you.
• Feeling anxious or low when you are not gambling.
• Neglecting work, study or family because of it.

If any of these sound familiar, speak to someone. You do not need to be in crisis to call.

Tools at Elf Slots

The operator says you can apply deposit limits, take a break and self-exclude yourself, at any hour, from the responsible gambling page linked at the bottom of every page on elfslots.com. Its safer gambling team can be reached at [email protected].

GAMSTOP

GAMSTOP lets you exclude yourself from all online operators licensed in Great Britain for 6 months, 1 year or 5 years. An exclusion cannot be cancelled during the minimum period and does not end by itself afterwards, because you must contact GAMSTOP to remove it.

Please be wary of sites that advertise themselves as "not on GAMSTOP". They are not licensed in Great Britain and lack the protections described here. We will not list them.

Other ways to block gambling

• Bank blocks: many UK banks let you turn off gambling transactions in their app.
• Blocking software: this stops gambling sites from loading on your device.
• Remove temptation: unsubscribe from marketing and delete saved payment details.

Protecting children

Underage gambling is illegal. If children use your device, keep your logins private, avoid Remember Me and consider parental controls.
