Responsible gambling

Keep your time on Golden Pit Boulevard under control

Gambling should be optional entertainment, not a solution to money problems or a way to escape stress. This page sets out practical steps and UK resources to help you stay in control when you use online casinos.

Set your limits before you play Practical tools

Most UK-licensed casinos, including those linked from Golden Pit Boulevard, offer safer gambling tools. They only work if you turn them on and stick to them.

Common tools you can use

Deposit limits: Cap how much you can add to your account per day, week or month.
Loss limits: Restrict how much you are prepared to lose over a set period.
Session reminders: On-screen messages that tell you how long you have been playing.
Time-outs: Temporary breaks from playing, ranging from hours to days.
Self-exclusion: A longer-term block that stops you using a casino account.

Look for these options within your account settings at 247bet, Mr Ben, Spinland and any other UK-facing casino you use.

Signals that your gambling may be a problem

You regularly spend more than you planned when you started a session.
You chase losses, trying to “win it back” quickly.
You hide gambling from family or friends.
You use gambling to escape from stress, debt or other difficulties.
You borrow money or use essential funds (like rent or bills) to gamble.

If you recognise several of these points, consider taking a break and reaching out for support.

UK support & blocking options External help

Golden Pit Boulevard is not a counselling or treatment service. If you are worried about your gambling, there are specialist organisations and tools that can help.

Helplines & counselling

In the UK there are services that offer free, confidential advice and support for people affected by gambling – including family members.

Self-exclusion schemes

Multi-operator self-exclusion schemes allow you to request a block from many online gambling sites at once, rather than one by one.

Blocking software

Third-party software products can help block access to gambling websites or apps on your devices. Some include additional time-management features.

If you feel that your gambling is out of control or you are in immediate distress, seek help as soon as possible. Talking to someone is a strong and positive step.

Golden Pit Boulevard’s role What we can & can’t do

We can highlight that casinos must provide safer gambling tools and encourage you to use them. We cannot see how much you play, track your spending, or intervene in your account on any casino.

We can

Remind you that gambling always carries risk.
Present information about typical tools available at licensed UK casinos.
Signpost to external support and information services.
Update our content to reflect responsible gambling best practices.

We cannot

Provide therapy, counselling or medical advice.
See or manage your accounts with 247bet, Mr Ben, Spinland or any other casino.
Override decisions made by a casino or regulator.
Guarantee that you will not experience harm from gambling.

If gambling is having a negative impact on your life, pausing immediately and seeking professional support is more important than visiting any casino website.
