Gambling should remain entertainment — never a source of financial pressure or emotional distress. Loot Casino operates under UK Gambling Commission licence #39175 and takes its duty of care seriously. Every registered account includes tools to set firm boundaries around time and money spent.
This page outlines every control available to you, how to activate them, where to find professional support, and what we do behind the scenes to identify and address harmful gambling patterns.
Our Commitment to Safer Gambling
Loot Casino operates under the principle that players deserve transparent, accessible controls. Every account includes deposit caps, loss limits, session reminders, and self-exclusion — all available without approval delays. We train our support team to recognise signs of problem gambling and to respond appropriately, not with sales tactics.
Gambling outcomes are determined by random number generators. No strategy guarantees profit. If sessions grow longer than planned, or you find yourself chasing losses, those are signals to reassess your approach.
Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit. Lowering a limit takes effect immediately. Raising a limit triggers a mandatory cooling-off period — 24 hours for daily limits, 7 days for weekly, 30 days for monthly. This delay exists to prevent impulsive changes during active play.
Access deposit limits through Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Deposit Limits. Changes are logged and cannot be reversed by support staff during the cooling-off window.
Loss Limits
A loss limit caps the net amount you can lose in a chosen timeframe. Once hit, further wagering is blocked until the period resets. Set this based on what you can genuinely afford to lose — treat it as an entertainment budget, not a target to reach.
Session Time Alerts
Configure alerts that notify you after a set period of continuous play — 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours. The alert appears as an on-screen notification showing total time played and net result for the session. You can continue playing or choose to stop — the alert is informational, not a forced break.
Cooling-Off Periods
A cooling-off period temporarily suspends your account. Durations range from 24 hours to 6 weeks. During this time, the account is inaccessible, no promotional emails are sent, and the restriction cannot be reversed early. Your balance remains intact and available when the period ends.
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion locks your account for a minimum of 6 months and up to 5 years. Any remaining balance is returned under our withdrawal policy. All marketing stops. Reopening an account after exclusion requires a formal review and is never automatic.
To self-exclude, use the account dashboard or contact support at support@loot-casino.org.uk. State clearly that you wish to self-exclude and specify the duration. The request is processed within 24 hours. Staff are trained to handle these requests without attempting to dissuade you.
GAMSTOP — Multi-Operator Self-Exclusion
GAMSTOP is the UK's free self-exclusion service. A single registration blocks your access to all licensed online gambling operators in Great Britain — not just Loot Casino. Registration periods are 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years.
Register at gamstop.co.uk. Once active, your exclusion applies across every UKGC-licensed site. Loot Casino checks GAMSTOP registrations as part of our compliance obligations.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Warning signs include spending more than you can afford, borrowing money to gamble, hiding the extent of your activity, feeling restless or irritable when not playing, and using gambling to escape personal problems. If any of these apply to you, we strongly encourage you to seek support.

Protection of Minors
Gambling is strictly prohibited for anyone under 18. We verify age and identity during registration. Accounts that fail verification are suspended and deposits returned.
Parents and guardians should install parental control software on shared devices, never leave gambling accounts logged in, and store payment credentials securely. If you suspect an underage person has accessed a Loot Casino account, contact support immediately at support@loot-casino.org.uk.
