Tool guide

Which control fits the moment you are in?

Useful the moment you want a firmer hold on what you spend or how long you stay.

Spending ceiling

A ceiling on what you can put in keeps the money you bring to play fixed. Switch it on before your first deposit, while the session is still a plan.

What if you keep chasing?

This sets the most you are willing to lose and stops play when that figure is reached. Turn it on if a losing run tempts you to chase it back.

Losing track of the clock

A quiet notice appears while you play, so a long stretch does not slip past. Set it if you tend to lose track of the clock on a slot session.

Should you take a break?

A short break freezes your account for a set while, without closing it for good. Choose it when you want distance for a while but intend to come back later.

Before the block, after the block

A firm block that keeps you out of your account for a chosen stretch. Use it when you decide the stop should be decided now, not argued with later.

What the screen shows

A figure you choose before the first spin

After reading this you will have a saved limit instead of an intention.

Where do settings live?

Sign in with your email address and open the settings area of your account. Check that the page shows your own profile and the current limits already in place.

Choosing deposit or loss

Pick the control that matches your concern, such as a deposit limit or a loss limit. Each tool sits on its own line, so choose one at a time.

Reading the summary line

Choose how long the limit should apply and confirm the figure you can live with. Read the summary line before you save, because the number shown there is the one enforced.

The saved confirmation

Save the change and look for the confirmation message on screen. From then on the account applies that limit to your play without you having to remember it.

Keep the account out of younger hands

The first withdrawal check. Registration asks for a date of birth, and no account opens for anyone under 18. Photo identification, proof of address and payment confirmation are checked before your first withdrawal is approved.

Shared-device filtering. Filtering software installed on a shared tablet or phone can hide gambling sites from everyone who uses it. Set a passcode that only an adult knows, so the block stays in place.

From accusations to questions. Approach the conversation with curiosity rather than blame, and say what you have noticed about money or mood. The National Gambling Helpline also takes calls from relatives, any hour of the day.

Choose which break fits your moment

Ask for a short time-out. For a break of hours or days, ask support to set a time-out on your account. Play and deposits stop for as long as you choose, and the casino asks you to come back only if you want to.

Self-exclusion inside the account. When you want to stop for a long stretch, self-exclusion closes your account to play and deposits. You set the period with support, and it cannot be lifted early, so plan it as a firm stop rather than a pause.

One stop that spans many sites. GAMSTOP, run by The National Online Self Exclusion Scheme Limited, covers every UK-licensed operator at once. Register online, confirm by email, and pick 6 months, 1 year, 5 years or 5 years with auto-renewal. gamstop.co.uk

Is play still fun, or has it turned?

Play is meant to be entertainment with a cost, never a way to make money. Caught early, these signs are easier to act on, and a limit or a pause you set now is a sensible first step.

If a few of these feel familiar, treat it as a prompt rather than a verdict.

Spending more than you planned to
Chasing a loss with another deposit
Playing to escape a low mood
Keeping your play from people close to you
Borrowing money to keep playing
Feeling restless when you cannot play
Play crowding out sleep or work

Five points settled

What happens if you change your mind?

Most players worry a limit will lock them out for good; here is what really happens.

Can the gambling helpline help family members too?+

Yes. The National Gambling Helpline is there for anyone affected by gambling, not only the person playing, and its advisers can point relatives to local support. Calls are free and answered at any hour.

Where do I ask to have my account closed for good?+

Contact the support team by email and ask them to close it; the address is [email protected]. They handle the closure from their side, and no further deposits or bets can be placed on that account.

Can I end my self-exclusion before the period is over?+

No. Self-exclusion at Skol Casino runs for the whole period you chose, and it cannot be lifted early. That is what makes it different from a short pause.

How does a cooling-off period work and when can I play again?+

A cooling-off period blocks deposits and play for the time you set, while the account itself stays open. When that period runs out, you can log in and play again.

Where do I change a deposit limit I set earlier?+

Open the limits section of your account again and choose a new figure there. Decide on it while you are calm and not after a losing run, then the new amount is the one your deposits follow.
