Limit Controls

Switch On The Controls Your Account Already Holds

This block removes the worry that nothing can be changed once money is on the table.

A Ceiling On Deposits

Cap what reaches your balance each day, week or month, and switch it on before your first deposit rather than after a costly evening.

Decide Your Loss Ceiling

Cap what a session may cost you overall, so a run of losses stops at a figure you chose in calm moments rather than in the middle of one.

When Hours Slip By

Get a reminder at an interval you pick so that time at the tables does not quietly stretch past what you planned.

Track Your Session At A Glance

Approve a summary shown during play that tells you how long you have been on and what has gone in and out.

From Playing To A Full Stop

Close your Spindog Casino account to play for a fixed stretch, and use GAMSTOP as well if you want that pause to reach other operators.

Pause Without Closing

Step away for a shorter stretch with your account held open, a softer option when you need distance but not a permanent exit.

Doing It Now

You Want A Limit In Place Tonight

Follow these steps when you want a spending cap in place before the next session begins.

Check You Are Signed In

Open your profile from the account menu and confirm you are signed in to your own single account.

Open The Limits Area

Find the limits area of your profile; this is where every cap and reminder for your play is kept.

Which Cap Suits You?

Choose deposits or losses, pick the period, then set a figure you can afford to spend without expecting anything back.

A Cap Now In Place

Confirm the change and read the on-screen note so you know where you stand and what happens next.

Your Child Found The Site, Now What

Age Proved Before Payout. Registration asks for a date of birth, and identity documents are required before the first withdrawal. Anyone under 18 cannot hold an account, and no winnings leave without that check.

A Shared Laptop In The House. Install blocking software on the family device so gambling pages cannot load for younger users. Choose a product that locks at device level and set its password to something only adults know.

A Conversation Without Blame. Lead with concern about money and mood rather than accusation, and let the person speak first. The National Gambling Helpline (GamCare) on 0808 8020 133 is free and open at any hour for relatives too.

When Play Shifts From Fun To Strain

Check your own play against these signs each week, because early recognition keeps gambling as entertainment rather than a strain on your money; a limit or a pause is the first step.

Read these seven statements and note any that sound like your own week.

Spending more than you planned each week
Chasing a loss has become routine
Hiding your play from people close to you
Deposits made without thinking them through
Results checked during work or family time
Money set aside for bills goes on play
Restless on days when you do not play

You Need More Than A Few Hours Off

You Need A Few Days Off. Set a time-out from the settings inside your account when you want a break of hours or days. Play stops for the period you choose, and access returns by itself once it ends.

Choose Your Length Wisely. Apply self-exclusion in the casino account when a few hours will not be enough: access closes for a long block of months and stays shut until it runs out. Early release is not on offer, so choose a length you can keep.

Want The Whole Market Closed? Register with GAMSTOP, run by The National Online Self Exclusion Scheme Limited, to block every licensed site in the country for at least six months; the block can need up to 24 hours to take effect. Apply online, then choose six months, one year or five years. gamstop.co.uk

Reader Questions

The Point Where Play Needs Pausing

You will know which stop covers which casino and who picks up the phone.

Will self-exclusion here stop me using other gambling sites too?+

Not on its own. A self-exclusion taken inside your Spindog Casino account keeps you out of this site only, so you need to join GAMSTOP separately if you want the wider cover.

What does take a break actually change inside my account?+

A break locks the account for the stretch you choose, so deposits and games stay shut while your balance and history remain untouched. Once that period runs out, play opens again without you asking support to unlock anything.

Can I shorten a self-exclusion once it has started?+

No. The exclusion stays in place for the whole period you picked, and support cannot lift it early. Treat the length as a promise you make to yourself rather than a setting to adjust later.

Why do you keep asking for proof of age?+

Because gambling here is reserved for players aged 18 and over, so we have to be sure who we are dealing with. Sending one clear document at the start keeps withdrawals and account changes moving later.

Are the same limit controls on the mobile version?+

Yes. Open your account settings in the mobile view and you land on the same deposit, loss and time controls as on a desktop. Nothing is trimmed down for phones, including breaks and the full stop.

How do I shut my account permanently rather than pause it?+

Contact the support team and state plainly that you want the account closed for good. Support replies around the clock by live chat, phone or email, then confirms in writing once closure is complete.
