BetFinderResponsible Gambling
BetFinder is committed to safer gambling. This page provides free, confidential help and the tools you need to stay in control. If gambling is causing you harm, support is available 24/7 — reaching out is a strength, not a weakness.
Our commitment
BetFinder is an analytics and information tool. It helps you find value and understand betting data — it does not guarantee profit, and gambling should never be treated as a way to make money. We want our users to enjoy betting safely. Only ever bet what you can afford to lose, and never chase losses. BetFinder is strictly for users aged 18 and over.

Phone: 0808 8020 133 — free, confidential, available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Also available via live chat and WhatsApp.

Trained advisers offer one-to-one support and can refer you into free treatment across England, Scotland and Wales. You don't need to be in crisis to get in touch — they help anyone worried about their own or someone else's gambling.
Take a break: self-exclusion
GAMSTOP — the free national self-exclusion scheme for Great Britain.
Website: https://www.gamstop.co.uk
GAMSTOP blocks you from every UK-licensed online betting and casino site for a period you choose (6 months, 1 year, or 5 years). Once active, it cannot be lifted before the end of your chosen period. Please note it does not cover sites licensed outside the UK, or land-based betting shops.
Blocking tools
Gamban— device-level blocking software that installs on your phone or computer and blocks gambling sites and apps directly, including offshore sites GAMSTOP doesn't cover.

Bank gambling blocks— most UK banks (including Monzo, Starling, Barclays, Lloyds, NatWest and Halifax) let you switch on a gambling transaction block in their app, which stops gambling payments instantly. Check your banking app's settings or contact your bank.
Stay in control: set limits
Every UK-licensed operator is required to let you set deposit limits, time-outs, and reality-check reminders. Set these before you need them. Decide your budget in advance, keep gambling to disposable income only, and treat any money spent as the cost of entertainment — not an investment.

Are you at risk? A quick self-check
Ask yourself:
- Do you bet more than you can afford to lose?
- Do you chase losses, trying to win back money?
- Do you borrow money or sell things to fund gambling?
- Do you hide your gambling from people close to you?
- Do you feel anxious, low, or irritable when thinking about gambling?
If any of these apply, please contact the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133. Help is free and confidential.
Protecting under-18s
Gambling is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. If you share a device with someone under 18, consider parental control and filtering software such as Net Nanny or Qustodio to block gambling content. Keep your account credentials and payment details secure.
When the fun stops, stop.
We would rather lose a customer than see anyone come to harm. If you ever need to step away, please do — there is no judgement here. 18+ only.
