Staying in Control at Casinoways

Casinoways gives every registered player direct control over how much they deposit, how long they play and whether they take a break. These controls sit inside your account settings and can also be adjusted by contacting our support team directly, so you are never dependent on a third party to manage your own limits.

Deposit limits

You can set a daily, weekly or monthly deposit limit in GBP from your account dashboard. Once set, a limit blocks further deposits until the period resets. Lowering a limit takes effect immediately. Raising a limit is deliberately slower, with a short cooling-off window, so a moment of frustration after a loss does not translate into a larger deposit than you intended.

Timeouts and cool-off periods

If you want a short break rather than a full account closure, you can request a timeout of 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days. During a timeout your account stays visible so you can still see your transaction history, but you cannot deposit or place bets. Timeouts are enforced from the moment you confirm them and cannot be reversed early by asking support to lift them.

Self-exclusion via Casinoways support

For a longer break, you can request self-exclusion directly through our support team. Self-exclusion closes your account for a period you choose, typically six months or longer, and blocks new account creation under your name and verified details for that period. Contact support through the channel listed in your account footer to start this process. We will ask you to confirm the request in writing so it is not actioned by mistake.

Independent support organisations

Account tools help you manage play, but they are not a substitute for independent advice if gambling starts to feel like a problem. The following organisations are free to contact and are not part of Casinoways:

• GamCare: 0808 8020 133, https://www.gamcare.org.uk/ - free, confidential support and a helpline open every day.
• BeGambleAware: https://www.begambleaware.org/ - information, self-assessment tools and links to treatment services across the UK.

Both organisations can talk you through options beyond what any single operator offers, including multi-operator self-exclusion schemes, budgeting support and referrals to counselling.

Signs worth paying attention to

• Chasing losses by depositing more than you planned.
• Gambling with money set aside for bills, rent or essentials.
• Losing track of time or session length while playing.
• Hiding deposit amounts or session frequency from people close to you.
• Feeling irritable or anxious when you try to cut back.

None of these on their own proves a problem, but if more than one sounds familiar, it is worth using a timeout or contacting GamCare before your next deposit rather than after.

Age verification

Casinoways is restricted to players aged 18 and over. We may ask for identity documents to confirm age and identity before processing a withdrawal, and accounts found to belong to anyone under 18 will be closed and any funds handled in line with our terms.
