• Responsible gambling at Blockspins

Most people who visit this page are checking something for themselves or for someone close to them, not looking for a lecture. Blockspins runs a self-exclusion policy and offers a few practical ways to step back, and this page sets out what they do and where to find independent help if you need more than that.

Why this matters

Betting and casino play are meant to be entertainment with a cost, not a way to make money or fix a problem. If a session stops feeling like that – if you're chasing a loss, or gambling to cope with something else – it's worth pausing rather than pushing through.

Signs gambling is getting out of hand

• Depositing again straight after a loss, specifically to "win it back"
• Lying to people close to you about how much time or money you've spent
• Borrowing, or using money set aside for bills, to keep playing
• Feeling irritable or anxious when you try to stop
• Chasing bigger stakes to get the same feeling a smaller bet used to give

Questions worth asking yourself

None of these diagnose anything on their own. A pattern of "yes" answers is the signal, not any single one.

• Have you spent more than you planned to in the last month?
• Have you lied about your gambling to someone you live with?
• Have you gambled to escape a low mood or a difficult week?
• Have you tried to cut back and found it harder than expected?
• Has anyone close to you raised a concern about your play?
• Have you missed a bill or a payment because of money spent gambling?

Our control tools

Blockspins operates a self-exclusion policy that lets you close your account for a definite period, an indefinite period, or permanently. Requests are made by emailing customer support directly rather than through an account setting.

A permanent closure is final in a way worth knowing before you request it: it forfeits any remaining account balance, along with future cashback, rakeback or bonus payments tied to that account. A definite or indefinite exclusion doesn't carry that forfeiture, so it's the better starting point if you're unsure which to choose.

Practical limits that work

• Decide your session budget before you deposit, not while you're playing
• Treat a loss as the end of that session, not a reason to deposit again
• Set a personal time limit and use a phone alarm to enforce it
• Avoid gambling when you've been drinking or when you're stressed about money
• Talk to someone you trust if you notice yourself hiding the amounts involved

Where to get help in the UK

Independent support exists outside any operator's own tools, and it's free. BeGambleAware offers confidential advice and signposting, and the National Gambling Helpline is free and open 24/7 on 0808 8020 133 through GamCare. GamStop covers free national self-exclusion across licensed UK sites, and Gordon Moody runs residential and online treatment for more serious cases.

Blocking software

If you'd rather remove the option entirely for a while, Gamban and the free multi-platform BetBlocker both block gambling sites at device level, independent of any single operator's controls.

Protecting minors

Blockspins requires all users to be 18+. If a device you use is shared with someone under 18, tools such as Net Nanny or Qustodio can restrict access to gambling sites at the household level.

Questions about any of this can go to [email protected]. Gambling should be entertainment, not a chore.

Access to this site is restricted to persons aged 18 and over (18+). If gambling ever stops feeling like entertainment, free and confidential help is available at BeGambleAware.org.
