When the evening stretches

Control over every session and every month

None of these cost anything, and none of them need a phone call to switch on.

Before the first deposit

A deposit limit caps how much you can add to the account over a set period. Switch it on before your first deposit, while the evening is still an idea.

When a losing night runs on

A loss limit stops further play once your losses reach the figure you chose. Set it on a quiet afternoon, not in the middle of a bad run.

When the hours slip by

Session time reminders tell you how long you have been playing. Switch them on if you often look up and find the evening has gone.

Where did the time go?

Reality checks interrupt play at intervals you choose and show what has happened so far. They suit anyone who prefers a pause built in rather than remembered.

Take a longer break

Self-exclusion closes your account to play for a period you choose. Use it when a pause is not enough and you want the door properly shut.

Your own ceiling

Two minutes in settings, then back to your evening

Use this when you want a figure settled before the first deposit, not negotiated afterwards.

Settings you can reach

Sign in and open the settings area of your account. Check that you are in the responsible play section before anything else.

Choose the right tool

Pick the limit type that matches your worry: money paid in, money lost, or time at the screen. Each sits in its own place.

Amount, period, confirmation

Enter the amount or the time, then choose whether it applies by day, week or month. Read the period twice before you save.

Saved and applied

Confirm the change and check the summary line shows your new figure. If it looks wrong, adjust it straight away rather than later.

Choose how long the door stays shut

Take the short way out. By the time a bad week starts, a short pause is already waiting in your account. Choose it in settings for a stretch measured in hours, and play and deposits stop until it ends on its own.

Does the pause reopen early? After a night that worried you, self-exclusion closes play and deposits for a long, fixed stretch, and the door stays shut until the period runs out. Nothing can open it early, not even a call to support.

Cover across every site. Once a longer stop feels right, the national register takes it beyond one casino. GAMSTOP, run by The National Online Self Exclusion Scheme Limited, starts at 6 months and asks for online registration with email verification. gamstop.co.uk

Shared experience rather than a script: Gamblers Anonymous runs free peer-led meetings with no booking needed, including mixed meetings for family and friends who want to understand. gamblersanonymous.org.uk

Signs that play has turned into pressure

Catching the pattern early keeps a pastime from becoming a pressure. A deposit limit set before you play, or a pause taken the same night, is the first step rather than the last.

Read the list slowly and count only what honestly sounds like your own week.

Playing past the hour you planned
Depositing again after a loss
Keeping play from people at home
Thinking about the next session at work
Borrowing to keep the account topped up
Feeling flat when you are not playing
Telling yourself one more night will settle it

Support and safeguards

Answers on limits and exclusion

When the question of stopping first crosses your mind, this block settles the basics.

What happens if I take a short pause on my account?+

A pause shuts you out of playing for the stretch you pick, with your balance and history left untouched. Sign-in and deposits are blocked while it runs, and play opens again by itself once the stretch ends. Nothing needs to be requested to return.

Can you shut my account down for good?+

Yes. Send the request from your registered email address to [email protected] and the team closes the account rather than holding it open. Closing it is the deeper step, so treat it as final rather than an overnight break.

Where do I find the limit settings on my phone?+

The same account section carries them on mobile, reached through the menu once you are signed in. Deposit limits, loss limits, session time reminders and reality checks sit together on one screen, so a phone browser needs no separate app.

Why do you need my age before I can play?+

Because 18+ is the legal age for gambling in the United Kingdom, and the UK Gambling Commission licence held by Harry Casino Ltd depends on checking it. Age checks run before a first deposit clears, which protects both you and the licence.

Does excluding myself here also block other casinos?+

Not on its own. The block stays inside your Harry Casino account unless you also sign up to GAMSTOP, the national online self-exclusion scheme, which covers licensed operators across the country. Joining GAMSTOP yourself adds that wider cover.

Can I lift a self-exclusion before the period is over?+

No. A self-exclusion runs for the whole period chosen at the start, and no request shortens it. Choosing the stretch carefully matters more than choosing quickly, since the commitment cannot be undone partway.
