At Slotbox Casino, gambling is meant to be a form of entertainment. For most players it stays that way. But we also know that for some people, what starts as a bit of fun can become something harder to manage. This page exists to help every player stay in control, understand the tools available to them, and know where to turn if things feel off.
We are licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission under the Gambling Act 2005. Our licence requires us to uphold the three licensing objectives: keeping gambling free from crime, ensuring it is conducted fairly and openly, and protecting children and vulnerable people from harm. Everything on this page reflects those obligations.
Is Your Gambling Still Fun?
Most people who gamble do so without problems. They set a budget, stick to it, and stop when they have decided to stop. But patterns can shift gradually, and it is not always easy to spot the change yourself.
Some signs that gambling may be becoming a problem:
- Spending more money or time gambling than you planned
- Chasing losses in the hope of winning back what you have spent
- Gambling with money set aside for bills, rent, or other essentials
- Feeling anxious or irritable when you are not gambling
- Lying to family or friends about how much you gamble
- Borrowing money to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities because of gambling
- Continuing to gamble even after deciding to stop
If any of these feel familiar, please use the tools available to you or speak to one of the support organisations listed below.
Tools to Help You Stay in Control
Slotbox Casino provides a range of player protection tools that you can access directly from your account. These can be applied at any time, and most of them take effect immediately.
Deposit Limits Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a day, a week, or a month. Once a limit is in place, you cannot increase it until a 24-hour cooling-off period has passed. Reductions take effect straight away.
Loss Limits Cap the amount you can lose within a chosen time period. As with deposit limits, decreases apply immediately, while increases require a waiting period.
Session Limits Decide in advance how long each gaming session will last. When the limit is reached, you will be logged out automatically.
Reality Checks Receive on-screen reminders at regular intervals during play showing how long you have been playing and how much you have spent. These prompts are there to help you make an informed decision about whether to continue.
Cool-Off (Time Out) Take a short break from your account for a period ranging from 24 hours to 6 weeks. During this time you will not be able to log in, deposit, or play. Any active bonuses are forfeited for the duration.
Self-Exclusion If you feel you need a longer break, you can self-exclude from Slotbox Casino for a minimum of six months, or on a permanent basis. Once self-exclusion is active, you will not be able to access your account, and we will not send you marketing communications. To self-exclude, log in to your account, visit the Responsible Gambling section in your settings, or contact our support team directly at [email protected].
Self-exclusion from Slotbox Casino does not automatically exclude you from other gambling sites. For broader protection, we strongly recommend registering with GAMSTOP.
GAMSTOP: Self-Exclusion Across Multiple Operators
GAMSTOP is the free national self-exclusion service for online gambling in Great Britain. When you register with GAMSTOP, your self-exclusion is applied across all UKGC-licensed online gambling sites simultaneously, not just Slotbox Casino.
You can register at www.gamstop.co.uk or call 0800 138 6518 free of charge.

Protecting Children and Young People
No one under the age of 18 is permitted to gamble at Slotbox Casino. We verify the age and identity of every player before allowing real-money play. Any account found to belong to someone under 18 will be closed immediately and any deposits returned.
If you share a device with children or young people, we encourage you to take steps to prevent accidental access to gambling websites. The following free tools can help:
- Gamban (www.gamban.com) blocks gambling sites and apps across all devices
- Net Nanny (www.netnanny.com) allows parents to filter website categories including gambling
- Bark (www.bark.us) monitors online activity and alerts parents to potential concerns
Please keep your login details secure and do not share your password with anyone, including family members.
How We Meet Our UKGC Obligations
As a UK Gambling Commission licensee, Slotbox Casino is required to meet strict standards on player protection. This includes:
Customer interaction: We monitor player behaviour for signs of potential harm. Where our systems flag unusual or concerning patterns, such as chasing losses or sudden changes in deposit behaviour, our team may make contact to check in with you. This is not intrusive, it is part of our duty to take the wellbeing of players seriously.
Affordability: We carry out assessments to ensure that gambling spending is sustainable for individual players. We may ask for information to support this process, particularly where activity gives us reason to be concerned.
Marketing exclusions: Players who have self-excluded or set a cool-off period will not receive promotional communications from Slotbox Casino for the duration of that period.
Underage gambling prevention: We use age verification checks at registration and may request additional documentation at any point to confirm identity and age.
Sefl-exclusion compliance: We take all self-exclusion requests seriously. Once in place, we take reasonable technical and operational steps to prevent access by excluded players.
Talking to Us
If you want to apply any of the limits or protections described above, or if you have a question or concern about your account, you can reach our customer support team at any time:

A Final Word
Gambling should never feel like an obligation, a solution to financial pressure, or something you do to escape a difficult situation. If it starts to feel that way, please reach out, whether to us, to a support organisation, or to someone you trust. Help is available, and asking for it is a sign of strength, not weakness.
You can also find further information on player protection on the UK Gambling Commission’s website at www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk.
18+ only. Please gamble responsibly.
