At GeckoPlay Casino, your well-being honestly matters to us more than anything else. We know that playing casino games is usually a fun way to pass the time, but it’s pretty crucial to keep things under control. That’s actually why we’ve put together a few handy tools to help you manage your gaming habits safely.
Deposit Limits
It’s easy to lose track of spending when you’re caught up in the action. To help you stick to your budget, you can set a cap on what you put into your account:
- Daily deposit limit
- Weekly deposit limit
- Monthly deposit limit
These caps pretty much guarantee you won’t spend more than you originally planned. You can easily tweak these restrictions whenever you want in your account settings.
Time-Outs
Sometimes you just need to step away from the screen for a bit. If you want a quick break, we’ve got a few temporary cool-off options:
- 24 hours
- 7 days
- 14 days
While your time-out is active, you won’t be able to log in, and we’ll pause all marketing emails. It’s a great way to clear your head and focus on other stuff.
Self-Exclusion
If things are getting tough and you need a much longer break, self-exclusion is the way to go. You can lock your account for a solid chunk of time:
- 1 month
- 3 months
- 6 months
- 12 months
Once you activate this, you’re locked out until the time is fully up. After the period ends, you can reach out to us if you decide you’re ready to come back.
Account Closure
If gaming has stopped being fun and is causing you stress, the best move might be to shut things down for good. Just drop us an email at support@geckoplay.com. Our team will help you close your account permanently, no questions asked. We’re here to back you up.
Recognising Problem Gambling
It’s not always easy to notice when a hobby turns into a problem. You might want to watch out for these red flags:
- Spending a lot more time or money than you meant to
- Chasing your losses by making bigger bets
- Borrowing cash just to fund your casino account
- Keeping your gambling a secret from your family or mates
- Feeling completely stressed, anxious, or moody when you aren’t playing
If any of these sound a bit too familiar, we strongly suggest reaching out for professional advice.
Support Resources
You don’t have to deal with this alone. We fully support the amazing work done by UK organisations that help people struggling with gambling. Here are some confidential, free resources:
- GamCare: 0808 8020 133 / www.gamcare.org.uk
- BeGambleAware: www.begambleaware.org
- GAMSTOP: www.gamstop.co.uk
These charities are experts. They can give you real advice on how to manage your habits and protect yourself.
Age Restriction
You absolutely have to be 18 or older to play here. We run strict ID checks to stop anyone underage from creating an account. If you share a computer with kids, we’d heavily suggest installing some decent parental control software to block access to casino sites.
Keep in mind that gambling is supposed to be entertaining. It’s definitely not a way to make a living or pay the bills. If the fun stops, please take a step back and ask for help.
