Gambling Self-Assessment

Answer these questions honestly to assess your gambling habits:

  • Do you gamble more than you can afford to lose?
  • Do you need to gamble with larger amounts of money to get the same feeling?
  • Have you tried to cut back on gambling but been unsuccessful?
  • Do you feel restless or irritable when trying to cut down on gambling?
  • Do you gamble to escape problems or relieve uncomfortable feelings?
  • After losing money, do you return to try to win it back ("chasing losses")?
  • Do you lie to conceal your gambling from others?
  • Have you jeopardized or lost relationships, jobs, or opportunities due to gambling?
  • Do you rely on others for money to solve financial problems caused by gambling?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you may want to:

If you're a parent or guardian concerned about underage gambling:

  • Use gambling blocking software like Gamban or BetBlocker
  • Set up parental controls on devices
  • Monitor bank statements for gambling transactions

If you suspect someone under 18 is gambling on our site, please contact us immediately at underage@golden-pharaoh-casino.org.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I set deposit limits?

Log into your account, go to "My Account" > "Responsible Gaming" > "Deposit Limits". You can set daily, weekly, or monthly limits. Decreases take effect immediately, while increases may have a 24-hour cooling-off period.

What is self-exclusion and how does it work?

Self-exclusion allows you to exclude yourself from gambling for a minimum of 6 months. During this period, you cannot deposit, wager, or receive promotional communications. To self-exclude, go to "My Account" > "Responsible Gaming" > "Self-Exclusion".

Can I cancel my self-exclusion early?

No, self-exclusion periods cannot be cancelled early. This is to ensure you have sufficient time away from gambling. After the exclusion period ends, there is a 24-hour cooling-off period before you can gamble again.

Are the protection tools reversible?

Most tools can be adjusted, but with cooling-off periods. Decreasing limits takes effect immediately. Increasing limits or ending cooling-off periods typically requires a 24-hour wait. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed early.

What happens if I try to create a new account while self-excluded?

Our systems will detect the attempt and prevent account creation. Any funds deposited will be returned, and winnings will be forfeited. Attempting to circumvent self-exclusion is a violation of our terms and conditions.

How can I get help for someone else's gambling?

Contact GamCare's helpline (0808 8020 133) for advice on helping someone with gambling problems. You can also use our "Third-Party Concern" form by contacting customer support. We can provide guidance on available options.
