Responsible Gaming
Last updated: 13 November 2026
Gambling should always be a form of entertainment, never a way to make money or escape problems. At gt-spinscasino.org.uk we want every reader to stay in control. This page explains how to gamble more safely and where to find free, confidential help in the UK.
Important: GTSpins and GAMSTOP
GTSpins Casino is operated by Novasphere Entertainment (Costa Rica) and is not licensed by the UK Gambling Commission. This means it is not connected to GAMSTOP, the UK national self-exclusion scheme, and UK dispute services such as IBAS do not cover it.
If you have registered with GAMSTOP or have self-excluded from gambling for any reason, please do not try to get around it by playing at a non-GAMSTOP site. Self-exclusion works best when you stick to it, and the organisations listed below can support you.
Tips for Safer Gambling
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, never with money meant for bills, rent or food.
- Set a budget and a time limit before you start, and stop when you reach them.
- Never chase losses: trying to win back money usually leads to bigger losses.
- Do not gamble when you are stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- Take regular breaks and balance gambling with other activities.
- Treat bonuses with care: wagering requirements can encourage you to play longer than planned.
- Never borrow money to gamble.
Warning Signs
It may be time to seek help if you:
- spend more money or time gambling than you intended;
- feel anxious, irritable or low when you are not gambling;
- hide your gambling from family or friends;
- borrow money or sell belongings to gamble;
- neglect work, study or relationships because of gambling.
Tools to Stay in Control
GTSpins says it offers responsible gambling tools in your account, such as deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion. You can also:
- install blocking software such as Gamban or BetBlocker on all your devices;
- ask your bank to switch on a gambling block on your debit card (most UK banks, including Monzo, Revolut, Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds and NatWest, offer this);
- register with GAMSTOP at gamstop.co.uk to block UKGC-licensed gambling sites.
