Start with the basics
Put your wellbeing before play
Gambling can affect your finances and mood. You do not need to wait until things feel unmanageable to ask for help.
Protect essential spending
Keep rent, food, bills and savings separate from any money set aside for gambling.
Talk to someone
Support is available if you want advice, a break or help for someone close to you.
A reality check
Understand the risks before playing
- Gambling is not a reliable way to earn money.
- Trying to win back losses can lead to spending more.
- Borrowing, hiding your gambling or using essential funds are reasons to stop and seek support.
- Promotions and free spins have terms and do not remove the risk of losing money.
In the United Kingdom, check the UK Gambling Commission register for a gambling service’s licence status. Do not assume a service is licensed. UKGC public register.
Spending boundaries
Set money limits and protect essentials
Decide your limits in advance
Check the account controls available to you and how they work. Treat a limit as a boundary, not a target.
- Keep essential money safe and never borrow to gamble.
- Check when a change to a limit takes effect.
- Find out whether a limit applies to deposits, losses or both.
- If sticking to a limit feels difficult, take a break and seek independent support.
Taking time out
Manage your time and take proper breaks
- Step 1
Choose when to stop
Decide your stopping time before you begin and set an alarm away from the gambling site or app.
- Step 2
Make your break count
Close the site or app, silence gambling alerts and do something unrelated to gambling.
- Step 3
Notice how you are feeling
Pay attention to your sleep, work, relationships and how often gambling is on your mind.
- Step 4
Ask for support
If you keep playing for longer than planned or find it hard to stop, contact a support service.

Fairground Slots Casino and responsible gambling
Fairground Slots casino responsible gambling means setting boundaries, noticing when gambling affects your mood or finances, and seeking support when you need it. Gambling is for adults aged 18 and over, carries a risk of financial loss and is not a way to make money.
Use these practical steps to support safer play. Check the current account information and terms on the official Fairground Slots site for details of any available tools and settings.
