Responsible Gambling
Gambling should be entertainment, never a way to make money or escape a problem. We want everyone in the Sloth community to stay in control and enjoy it the right way.
18+ only. The platforms featured on this site are strictly for adults aged 18 or over (or the legal age where you live). If gambling ever stops being fun, take a break — the support below is free and confidential.
Stay in control
A few simple habits keep gambling healthy:
- Set a budget before you play and treat it as the cost of entertainment — money you are fully prepared to lose.
- Set time and deposit limits, and stick to them. Most platforms let you set these directly in your account.
- Never chase losses. Trying to win back what you have lost is the fastest way to lose more.
- Don't gamble while stressed, upset, or under the influence.
- Keep gambling a small part of your life — not something that replaces work, sleep or people.
Warning signs
It may be time to step back if you:
- Spend more time or money than you intended, again and again.
- Borrow money, sell things, or fall behind on bills to keep playing.
- Feel anxious, guilty or irritable when you gamble — or when you can't.
- Hide your gambling from people close to you.
- Gamble to escape problems or to feel better.
Tools that help
Every licensed platform we feature offers responsible-gambling tools built into your account — deposit limits, loss limits, session reminders, cooldowns and full self-exclusion. If you need a break, use them. You can also block gambling sites at the device level with tools like Gamban, and in the UK self-exclude across sites via GAMSTOP.
Get support
If gambling is affecting you or someone you know, reaching out early makes all the difference. These organisations are free, confidential and independent:
You are not alone, and there is no shame in asking for help. Take care of yourself first — the games will always be there.
