Responsible Play
At Love Casino, we want gambling to remain a form of entertainment, not a source of pressure or harm. Our approach to responsible play is centred on helping you make informed choices, set personal boundaries and take a break when needed. Gambling is for adults aged 18 and over, and it should never be used to solve money problems. If it stops feeling manageable, support is available. Use the tools in your account to manage your activity, or contact a professional support service for confidential guidance.
Love Casino Responsible Gambling
Play only when you are 18 or over and able to make clear decisions. Set limits before you begin and keep gambling within the time and money you can afford to lose. Never borrow money to gamble, and do not treat gambling as a way to earn income or recover losses.
Taking a break is always an option. If you are worried about your gambling, stop playing and seek support. You do not need to wait until a problem feels serious.
Tools to Manage Your Play
Limits and time-outs
Set a deposit limit in your account to restrict how much you can add over a chosen period. If a loss limit is available, choose an amount you can afford to lose and stop when you reach it. Keep a separate record of your spending if you need a clearer view of your overall gambling budget.
Use a session time-out to step away for a set period. Cooling-off options can block account access for 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days. Limit increases may have a waiting period, so check the terms shown in your account.
Self-exclusion
If you need a longer break, choose self-exclusion through the Responsible Gambling section of your account. Options include a five-year period or lifetime exclusion. You can also register with GAMSTOP to exclude yourself from online gambling sites licensed in Great Britain.
Recognising When Play Is Becoming a Problem
It may be time to seek help if you are spending more time or money than planned, chasing losses, hiding gambling from people close to you, or feeling anxious or irritable when you try to stop. Other warning signs include borrowing to gamble, missing bills or responsibilities, and gambling affecting your relationships, sleep or wellbeing.
If any of these signs feel familiar, take a break and speak to someone you trust or a support service. You do not have to manage it alone.
Staying in Control
Decide your time and spending limits before you play. Take regular breaks, avoid gambling when upset or under the influence of alcohol, and do not increase your budget to chase a loss. Keep essential household money separate from any gambling budget. If your limits are difficult to stick to, use a time-out or self-exclusion and ask for support.
