Spinnerbet
Our approach to safer play
We run Spinnerbet for adults in the UK, and every player must be 18 or over. Gambling should be entertainment, paid for out of money you can comfortably afford to lose. It is never a way to earn income, clear a debt or fix a bad month.
We want you to stay in control of your time and your spending. This page explains the habits, tools and warning signs that matter, so you can make informed choices before you play and while you play.
Nobody can guarantee a win on any game. Outcomes are decided by chance, and a long losing run does not make a win more likely next. Keep that in mind each time you sit down to play, whatever the game.
Setting your own boundaries
The most reliable protection is a plan made before you start. Decide how much you will spend and how long you will play, then treat those figures as fixed. Write them down if that helps, and measure your play against them afterwards.
Budget before you begin
Work out what is left after rent, bills, food, travel and savings. Only a small share of that remainder should ever go towards gambling. Set the amount in pounds, for example £20 for an evening, and stop when it is gone. Never top it up because you feel the next spin must pay. Money set aside for essentials stays untouched, whatever happens at the tables or reels.
Time limits and breaks
Long sessions blur judgement. Set an alarm on your phone, step away from the screen at regular intervals and notice how you feel when you return. If you are tired, upset, angry or have been drinking, do not play. A short walk or a glass of water is usually worth more than one more round. Close the tab when your time is up rather than telling yourself it is only a few more minutes.
Warning signs to watch for
| Sign | What it can look like |
|---|---|
| Spending more than planned | Raising stakes or deposits to feel the same excitement |
| Chasing losses | Playing again straight away to recover money you have lost |
| Hiding your play | Keeping gambling secret from family or friends |
| Neglecting life | Missing work, sleep, meals or bills because of gambling |
| Mood changes | Feeling irritable, anxious or low when you are not playing |
Tools that keep you in control
Most licensed gambling sites in the UK are expected to give players ways to manage their play, and you should look for them in your account settings. Typical controls include deposit limits, session reminders, cooling-off breaks and longer self-exclusion. We encourage you to use them early, not only once things feel difficult.
A deposit limit caps how much you can add in a day, week or month. A cooling-off break pauses your account for a set period, while self-exclusion closes it for a much longer stretch. Ask our support team through the contact options if you cannot find a setting or need help using it.
If you ever feel the urge to play is stronger than your plan, use a block straight away rather than waiting. Decisions made calmly, before a session, are almost always better than those made in the heat of a losing streak.
Steps to take if gambling stops being fun
Pause and stop playing
Close the site and leave the device alone for a while. Give yourself room to think without the pull of the next round.
Talk to someone you trust
A friend, partner or relative can listen without judgement. Saying it out loud often makes the problem feel smaller and clearer.
Use a limit or exclusion
Switch on a deposit limit, take a break or self-exclude through your account settings, and tell us if you need help doing so.
Seek independent support
Free, confidential services in the UK, including the National Gambling Helpline and GamCare, are staffed by trained advisers who can talk things through with you.
Protecting young people and your household
Gambling is for adults only. If children or teenagers use your devices, keep your account details private and never leave a logged-in session open. Do not save passwords where others can reach them.
Filtering software can block gambling sites on shared computers, tablets and phones, and many banks now let you block gambling transactions on your card. These steps help protect both you and anyone in your home who might be at risk.
Family members can also be affected by someone else's play. If you are worried about a person close to you, support services exist for relatives and friends as well as for the player.
Responsible gambling questions
What is the minimum age to play?
You must be 18 or over to play in the UK. We ask every player to confirm their age, and underage play is never permitted.
How do I know if I have a problem?
Warning signs include spending more than planned, chasing losses, hiding your play and feeling restless when you stop. If several of these ring true, take a break and speak to a support service.
Can I set a limit on my spending?
Yes, using limits is a sensible habit. Look in your account settings or ask our support team to point you to the controls available.
Where can I get free, confidential help?
In the UK you can contact the National Gambling Helpline or GamCare. Their advisers are trained to listen and offer practical next steps at no cost.
Should I gamble to win back losses?
No. Playing on to recover losses usually deepens them. Stop for the day, step away and return only when you are calm and within your original budget.
