Staying in Control with Jet Set Spins
Gambling with us is paid entertainment, and it stays enjoyable when the player stays in charge. Key points:
- Minimum age is 18 and over.
- Deposit limits, loss limits, session reminders, time-out periods and self-exclusion are all offered.
- Limits can be changed in the account without a phone call.
- GamCare, BeGambleAware and GAMSTOP are independent help bodies for British players.
Getting help
GamCare
GamCare runs a free national helpline on 0808 8020 133 and one-to-one counselling for anyone worried about their own gambling or a relative’s. Calling costs nothing, and the helpline is a good first step when play stops feeling like fun.
BeGambleAware
BeGambleAware funds treatment and prevention across Britain and explains gambling risks in plain language. It is a useful place to learn how risk works and which kinds of support exist.
GAMSTOP
GAMSTOP is the UK national online self-exclusion scheme. One registration blocks a player from gambling sites and apps licensed in Great Britain for the chosen period. A GAMSTOP match on a player’s name closes our sign-up screen with a self-exclusion notice.
Our role
We offer the controls and keep them within reach. Every limit and exclusion can be set in the account and in the iPhone and Android apps, and settings carry across devices because one login covers all of them. Live chat runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The decision to use them belongs to the player, and an early setting is easier than a late one.
Warning signs
| Sign | What it can look like | First step |
|---|---|---|
| Chasing losses | Larger stakes to win back an earlier loss | Set a loss limit |
| Longer sessions | Play running well past the planned time | Turn on session reminders |
| Money pressure | Deposits that crowd out bills or savings | Set a deposit limit, then call GamCare |
| Secrecy | Hiding play from family or friends | Take a time-out |
| Mood | Irritation or low mood when play stops | Speak to a GamCare counsellor |
Our control tools
Limits and reminders
- Deposit limits cap what can be paid in each day, week or month.
- Loss limits stop play at a chosen figure.
- Session reminders can be set.
A deposit limit works best as a day-one step, set before the first deposit of £20 or more.
Time-outs and self-exclusion
Time-out periods pause the account for a chosen stretch while the balance stays intact. Self-exclusion bars the player from every gambling site under the scheme for a chosen period, and it holds across app and browser.
Staying in control
Play only with money set aside for entertainment, and keep it in a separate budget from rent, bills and savings.
- Decide a deposit and a time limit before logging in.
- Count losses as the price of the evening, and winnings as a pleasant extra.
- Take breaks, and step away when mood turns tense.
- Welcome offers carry 43× wagering, so read the conditions before opting in.
- Talk to GamCare, a friend or a relative at the first worry.
- Keep gambling for adults only: players must be 18 or over, and devices stay out of children’s reach.
