Safer Gambling Tools
Two calculators to help you decide your limits before you bet, not after. Setting a number in advance is what actually keeps betting affordable — deciding in the moment rarely works.
Deposit limit calculator
Work out a monthly, weekly and daily deposit limit based on what you can genuinely afford — then set it in your bookmaker's account settings.
What's left after bills, essentials and savings.
Most guidance suggests keeping this low, e.g. 5%.
Monthly limit
£50.00
Weekly limit
£11.51
Daily limit
£1.67
Most UK bookmakers let you set a deposit limit in your account settings — use this figure as a starting point, not a target to spend.
Session loss-limit calculator
Split your monthly budget across how often you plan to bet, so you have a clear stop-loss for any single session.
Stop-loss per session
£6.25
Decide this figure before you start, and walk away for the session once you hit it — chasing losses past a pre-set limit is one of the clearest signs betting has stopped being fun.
If it stops being fun
GAMSTOP lets you self-exclude from all UK-licensed betting sites for a period of your choosing. Free, confidential support is also available from the National Gambling Helpline (0808 8020 133) and GamCare, 24 hours a day.
