Safer Gambling

Responsible Gambling at Puntit Casino

Gambling should always be fun, never a way to make money or escape worries. At Puntit we're committed to safer gambling, and we give every player the tools and support to stay in control. Please only ever play with money you can afford to lose.

Your Tools

Stay in Control

Right from your account settings, you can set the limits that work for you:

  • Deposit limits — daily, weekly, or monthly caps on what you can pay in.
  • Time-outs — take a short break of 24 hours up to 6 weeks whenever you need one.
  • Reality checks — get reminders of how long you've been playing.
  • Loss and session limits — keep your play within boundaries you decide.
Take a Break

Self-Exclusion & GamStop

If you need a longer break, you can self-exclude from Puntit for a set period. For UK-wide protection, you can also register free with GamStop (gamstop.co.uk), which blocks you from all UKGC-licensed gambling sites in one step.

Where to Get Help

If gambling stops feeling fun, or you're worried about yourself or someone close to you, free and confidential help is available:

You must be 18 or over to open an account or play at Puntit. We carry out age and identity checks, and underage gambling is an offence.

Puntit Casino operates under UK Gambling Commission licence 39576. When the fun stops, stop. BeGambleAware.org — 18+.

Be Honest With Yourself

Knowing When to Take a Break

For most people, gambling is simply a bit of entertainment — a way to enjoy a few spins and move on. Now and then, though, it can start to feel like more than that. It helps to check in with yourself honestly. None of the signs below means something is wrong on its own, but if a few feel familiar, it may be a good moment to pause and use the tools further up this page.

  • Chasing losses — playing on to win back money you've lost, rather than stopping for the day.
  • Spending more than you planned — going past the time or money you set aside for fun.
  • Playing to escape — reaching for a game to cope with stress, low mood, or worries.
  • Borrowing to play — using money meant for bills, or borrowing from others, to keep going.
  • It's on your mind a lot — thinking about gambling when you're meant to be doing other things.
  • Hiding it — keeping how much you play, or how much you spend, from the people close to you.
  • It's stopped being fun — feeling anxious, guilty or irritable around your play.

If any of this rings true, there's no need to wait. Setting a limit, taking a time-out, or talking to one of the free, confidential services listed below are all simple first steps — and there's no judgement in reaching for them.

Your Tools, Explained

Your Safer-Gambling Tools in Depth

Every player at Puntit has free tools to help keep play within comfortable limits. You'll find them in your account settings, and you can adjust them whenever you like. Here's what each one does:

  • Deposit limits — set a cap on what you can pay in over a day, a week or a month. Lowering a limit applies quickly; raising one takes effect after a short cooling-off period, so decisions are never made in the heat of the moment.
  • Loss limits — decide the most you're willing to lose over a chosen period, so spending stays within boundaries you set in advance.
  • Session limits — set how long a single playing session can last; when the time is up, you'll be prompted to take a break.
  • Reality checks — gentle on-screen reminders that show how long you've been playing, helping you keep track of time.
  • Time-outs — take a short break, from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. Your account is locked for that time, then simply reopens when the break ends.
  • Self-exclusion — for a longer break, you can self-exclude from Puntit for an extended period. During that time we won't send you marketing, and you won't be able to log in.
  • GamStop — register free with the national scheme to block yourself from every UKGC-licensed gambling site in one step. It's a single action that covers the whole UK market.
Good to know: these tools work best together. Many players set a deposit limit and a reality check from day one, so the fun stays exactly that — fun.
Keeping Others Safe

Protecting Children & Vulnerable People

Gambling is strictly for adults. You must be 18 or over to open an account or play at Puntit, and we carry out age and identity checks to keep underage people out. Letting a child gamble, or gambling on a child's behalf, is an offence — and it's something we all have a part in preventing.

If you share a device or a household with someone who shouldn't be gambling, a few simple steps go a long way:

  • Keep your details private — never save your password where others can reach it, and always log out on shared devices.
  • Use parental-control software — free filtering tools such as those from family-safety providers can block gambling sites on the devices children use.
  • Protect payment methods — keep cards and banking apps secure so they can't be used without your knowledge.
  • Talk about it — open conversations about gambling and money help young people understand the risks.

If you're worried that someone close to you may be gambling underage or struggling to stay in control, the confidential services below can offer free advice — for them, or for you.
