Built in already

Choose the tool that fits tonight

The worry that a limit means losing your account is the one these tools lift first.

Set the ceiling before play

This one caps how much can reach your balance, so a good night cannot carry into a bad week. Switch it on before your first deposit, not after a heavy session.

A ceiling on your losses

Here the cap sits on what you lose rather than what you spend, which suits anyone chasing a bad run. Turn it on at the start of a session.

Set a gentle nudge

A quiet notice appears while you play, reminding you how long you have been at the table. Set it if sessions tend to stretch past what you planned.

Take the longer break

For a full stop, this closes your account to play for the period you choose and keeps it closed. Choose it when a pause is not enough.

Clear numbers in front of you

A summary of time and money spent appears at intervals you pick, so the picture stays honest. Switch it on when you like numbers in front of you.

Your route in

Set your ceiling in four steps

Once you have finished these four steps, a ceiling sits on your account before you play.

From menu to controls

Open your profile from the account menu and look for the responsible gambling section. Every control you need lives in that one place.

Three kinds of ceiling

Choose whether to cap money in, money lost, or the length of a session. Pick the one that answers the worry you brought with you.

Name your period

Enter the figure or the minutes, then mark whether it applies to a day, a week or a month. Check the period twice before you move on.

Before and after you confirm

Confirm the setting and read the summary line that appears afterwards. The lower figure is always the safer starting point.

The minute you need someone

Call the helpline tonight, free of charge

Worrying that asking for help will be traced back to you or cost you money

National Gambling Helpline (GamCare)

Trained advisers answer through the national helpline at any hour, any day, for players and for relatives alike, at no charge and in confidence; someone can also be reached through live chat. 0808 8020 133 gamcare.org.uk

Gamblers Anonymous

Peer-led meetings bring together people facing the same struggle and their families, need no appointment and ask for nothing; relatives are welcome in mixed groups, and advice comes by phone. gamblersanonymous.org.uk

Pick the length of break that fits

Short break, hours or days. An account pause silences play for a chosen stretch of hours or days, then lifts on its own. Open the responsible gambling section and set the pause there; deposits and games close for that window, while your balance stays untouched.

Long stop in your own account. Self-exclusion in your account shuts access for a long period and cannot be undone early, so choose it with care. It is set from the same place in your account, and during that time no deposit or game is open to you.

Where else can I be stopped? Beyond this website, one national register covers online operators across the country. Run by The National Online Self Exclusion Scheme Limited, it starts at 6 months and can run for a year or five, and you can join it online; take-up may need up to 24 hours. gamstop.co.uk

What if the player is someone you love?

Who confirms you are 18? Nobody under 18 may open an account or play for money here, so age is confirmed at sign-up. Proof of identity and address is reviewed before a first withdrawal leaves, which means the check catches anything missed earlier.

Put a blocker on the family tablet. When a phone or laptop is shared, gambling sites can be filtered out with blocking software installed by the account holder. Choosing it together, calmly and without surveillance, keeps the device neutral for everyone who uses it.

A conversation that helps. Blaming rarely opens a door; asking about money and mood usually does. Relatives can call the National Gambling Helpline (GamCare) on 0808 8020 133 at any hour, free of charge, for advice and referral to local support.

Look at your play the way a friend would

Small signals are easier to act on than large ones, and catching them sooner leaves more room to choose. A spending limit or a pause is the first step, not a verdict.

Read these quietly and see which ones sound like your own week.

Chasing a loss with another deposit
Spending money meant for bills
Telling family less than the truth
Playing longer than you planned
Feeling restless away from the screen
Hiding your play from people close
Borrowing to keep playing

When you are unsure

Before the first deposit, after the last spin

Read this the moment a limit feels too loose or a relative's playing starts to worry you.

My brother plays too much — can GamCare advise me?+

Anyone affected by another person's gambling can use the National Gambling Helpline run by GamCare, which is free and available at any hour. Its advisers listen to relatives and friends as readily as to players, and can point you to local support. You do not need your brother's permission to call.

Can I set my deposit limit on a phone?+

Yes — the account area carries the same limit controls in the mobile version of Viks Casino as on a desktop. Deposit limits, loss limits and the rest of the tools sit in the account area of the mobile version too, so a cap can be placed from a phone. Nothing about the limits changes because of the screen you use.

Why does the casino ask for proof of age before I play?+

Only people aged 18 or over may open an account here, and the check is part of the licence held by Viks Casino Ltd under the UK Gambling Commission. Age is confirmed once, before play, not after. The same check protects anyone under age from reaching the games on a shared device.

Can I end a self-exclusion before the period I chose?+

No. A self-exclusion runs for the whole period you selected, and the account stays closed until that period ends. This is deliberate: the decision is made at a calm moment and is not undone during a harder one.

What does a pause change, and when does play return?+

A pause blocks the account for the short period you choose, while deposit limits, loss limits and reality checks stay as they are. Nothing is deleted, and access comes back by itself once that period runs out. No call or message is needed to reopen it.

Does excluding myself here block other casinos?+

No. Self-exclusion in your Viks Casino account applies to this account only. To be blocked across other licensed sites in the United Kingdom, join GAMSTOP, the national scheme, through its own registration — it can take up to 24 hours to take effect.
