Responsible Gambling

Last updated: June 2026

SlotsLike.co.uk is a slots comparison directory for adults aged 18 and over. We want the players who use our site to enjoy slots safely. Gambling should always be a form of entertainment, never a way to make money or to deal with stress or debt. This page explains how to stay in control and where to find free, confidential help.

Staying in control

A few simple habits keep gambling fun and safe:

  • Only ever gamble money you can comfortably afford to lose.
  • Set a budget and a time limit before you start, and stick to them.
  • Never chase losses or try to win back money you have lost.
  • Don’t gamble when you are upset, stressed or under the influence of alcohol.
  • Treat any winnings as a bonus, not as expected income.
  • Take regular breaks and keep gambling as just one of your hobbies.

Signs gambling may be a problem

It may be time to seek support if you, or someone you know, are gambling more than you can afford, borrowing money or selling things to gamble, lying about how much you gamble, feeling anxious or guilty about it, or finding it hard to stop. Recognising these signs early makes a real difference.

Tools that can help

UK-licensed casinos are required to offer tools that put you in control, including deposit and loss limits, session-time reminders, time-outs (short cooling-off periods) and self-exclusion. We encourage you to use them. For broader protection, GAMSTOP is the free national self-exclusion scheme that lets you block yourself from all UK-licensed gambling sites for a chosen period, and blocking software such as Gamban can prevent access to gambling sites on your devices.

Where to get free, confidential help

If gambling is affecting you or someone close to you, support is available 24/7 and it is free and confidential:

  • National Gambling Helpline — call 0808 8020 133, any time, day or night.
  • GamCare — information, advice and free counselling.
  • GambleAware — advice, tools and a directory of support services.
  • Gordon Moody — intensive support for those most affected by gambling harm.

Protecting under-18s

Gambling is strictly for adults. If children may use your device, parental-control and filtering software can help keep gambling content away from them. Our site and the operators we feature are intended only for people aged 18 or over.

Our commitment

SlotsLike.co.uk provides information to help players make informed choices. We encourage you to check that any casino holds a current UK Gambling Commission licence before depositing, and we support the responsible-gambling messaging that licensed operators are required to display. If you ever feel gambling has stopped being fun, please use the help above or reach out through our contact form.
