Gambling should be entertainment, never a way to make money or solve problems. If it stops being fun, stop – and get free, confidential help.
Free help in the UK

Important: GamStop does not cover True Fortune
True Fortune is not in the UK Gambling Commission register and does not take part in GamStop. If you have self-excluded with GamStop, you can still open an account at True Fortune. To protect yourself:
- use GamStop and gambling-blocking software on your devices;
- ask your bank to block gambling transactions;
- if you have an account at True Fortune, ask its support team for self-exclusion – its responsible gaming page says this, deposit limits and a break of up to six weeks are available on request.
Signs it may be time to stop
- spending more than you planned, or chasing losses;
- borrowing money or using money meant for bills;
- hiding your gambling from others;
- feeling anxious or low about gambling.
Age
Gambling is only for adults. True Fortune's own terms require players to be 25 or older.
