Safer Gambling

We at OnlineBetUk.com want everyone who uses this site to enjoy their gambling. Safer Gambling is for everyone and using these tools will help to ensure that your gambling remains a harmless leisure activity.

Deposit Limits – From October 2025 everyone in the UK must set up a limit before they make their first deposit. Many operators already offer this feature so why not use it now? You can set limits for varying timescales; daily, weekly or monthly. Requests to increase limits will take 24 hours to take effect while demands to reduce them will be enacted immediately.

Cool-Off Periods – This tool gives you a chance to step away from gambling entirely. You can choose to take a break from one day to 30 days or six weeks in some cases. Once the cool-off period ends you’ll be able to resume access to your betting accounts.

Profit & Loss – How much have you won or lost over a selected period of time? This helps you understand how much you are spending on your gambling entertainment.

Reality Check – Gambling doesn’t just mean spending money it also means spending time, sometimes a lot of it. Reality Check tools give you a nudge when you’ve been playing for a set amount of time, say 20 minutes or a couple of hours. You’ll then be prompted to log out, review your activity or continue playing.
