Room to step back

Before play becomes a habit, set the shape of it

Spinshark Casino puts every control in your own hands, with no pressure to explain yourself.

What can I cap?

A ceiling on what you pay in sits between your money and the table. Switch it on before your first deposit, when your head is clear and the evening is still young.

Does losing have a ceiling?

This caps what a session can take from you, whatever the deposits behind it. Set one when you notice net losses creeping up over a week.

Time you get back

A short message breaks the flow partway through play, so an hour of spinning does not slide into three. Choose it if time tends to vanish once you start.

Cooling-off periods

A deliberate break from the account, chosen by you for a fixed stretch. Reach for it when you want distance but plan to return later.

Out, not merely paused

The firmest step: your account closes for play and you stay out for good while it runs. Choose it if a pause already feels like too little.

Four clicks

From thinking about it to having it in place

Useful when the thought arrives that play should have a ceiling you chose.

Find your profile

Log in and open the menu under your name. Check you are in the right account before anything else, since settings apply to that login only.

Picking from the list

Choose which control you want: deposits, losses, reminders, a pause or an exclusion. Each one works on a different part of your play, so pick the one that answers your worry.

Short stretch or long one?

Give the figure or the duration, then say whether it covers a day, a week or a month. A longer period gives the setting more room to hold.

Is it saved and showing?

Save the change and go back to the page to see the new figure listed. If it is missing, your support team can check it with you at any hour.

Someone on the other end

Free help that stays between you and them

Most people hesitate because they expect a lecture or a bill; neither is waiting.

National Gambling Helpline (GamCare)

Trained advisers answer around the clock, every day of the year, at no cost and in confidence, for players and for the people who live with them, and can point you to support close to home. 0808 8020 133 gamcare.org.uk

Gamblers Anonymous

Peer-led meetings run without appointments or fees, where players and their families and friends can talk openly in the same room and hear how others got through it. gamblersanonymous.org.uk

Getting your evenings back

Catching these early keeps a hobby from turning into a chore, and a limit or a pause set in your account is the simplest first step. Nothing here is a diagnosis, just an honest look at how play sits in your week.

If a few of these sound familiar, that alone is reason to set a limit today.

Keep play out of reach for young people

Send your ID once, early. Registration asks for proof of identity before the first withdrawal, so the game is closed to anyone under 18 from the start. A passport or licence photo settles the check, and payouts wait until it is done.

The family tablet in the kitchen. Blocking software for gambling sites, installed on the shared desktop or the family tablet, keeps the games out of reach when you are not in the room. Set it up once and let it run quietly in the background.

What a relative can actually do. Talking without blame opens the conversation that an argument slams shut, and the National Gambling Helpline at 0808 8020 133 listens at any hour, free. Gamblers Anonymous also runs free peer meetings that relatives can join.

Space between you and the next session

A break of hours, not months. A short break switches play off for a few hours or a few days without shutting your account. You start it yourself from the account, and play reopens when the chosen stretch ends.

Closing the door fully. A longer exclusion closes access for an extended stretch at your request. It is started in your account, and the decision stays fixed until the period you chose has run out, so pick a length you can live with.

GAMSTOP sign-up. GAMSTOP, run by The National Online Self Exclusion Scheme Limited, covers licensed sites across the country. You register yourself, online verification included, and the shortest period is six months, taking up to a day to apply. gamstop.co.uk

Cover you may need

Limits, pauses and closing explained

After reading, you will know which lever does what and who picks up the phone.

Does a self-exclusion here block me from other casinos too?+

No. The exclusion sits on your Spinshark Casino account alone, so other operators would still let you sign in. Joining GAMSTOP, the national scheme, is the step that covers other UK-licensed sites. Up to 24 hours can pass before it takes effect.

Where do I go to change a limit I set last month?+

The same control panel under your name holds every limit you have chosen, and you can revisit it whenever you like. Each tool is adjusted in the very place it was switched on. Raising a limit is not instant in this market, so a moment of regret has time to pass.

Why does the casino want my age documents?+

Because only people aged 18+ may play for money here, and the check protects that line. Proof of identity, address and payment method are reviewed, usually within 32 hours. Your details travel under TLS 1.3 encryption and stay with the licensed operator, Spinshark Casino Ltd.

How do I shut my account permanently?+

Write to [email protected] and ask for the account to be closed rather than paused. Support confirms it and the login stops working for good. Should you also want to be barred elsewhere, GAMSTOP and the helpline can take that further.

Can I end a self-exclusion before the time runs out?+

No. Once you choose a period, it stays fixed until it expires, and no request shortens it. That firmness is the whole point of the tool. When the period ends, the account does not reopen by itself; you would need to speak to support first.
