Account controls

Which controls sit in your account?

By the end you will know which five controls are already waiting in your account.

Before play, not after

A deposit limit caps what you can pay in over a period, so set it on a quiet day before play, not after a loss.

What is your stopping point?

A loss limit sets the most you accept losing in a period; switch it on before a session where you know you may keep going.

How long is this session?

Session reminders mark how long you have been playing; turn them on when a quick session has a habit of turning into a long evening.

A pause, but longer

Self-exclusion closes your account for a period you choose, the option when a pause is not enough and distance is what you need.

Seen, not guessed

A reality check shows elapsed time and what you have staked; switch it on when you want the numbers in front of you as you play.

At the settings screen

The moment you open your settings

These four moves settle where a limit lives and how to confirm it took.

Open your profile

The right cap for you

Pick the limit that matches your worry: deposit for money in, loss for money lost, or session time for the hours.

Now choose the span

Enter the amount or the time, then choose the period it covers: a day, a week, or a wider span, and save it.

Saved, then seen again

Open the settings page again and check the figure is listed; if it is not there, ask live chat before you deposit.

A moment to check before the next stake

Once an evening slips past what you meant to spend, the pattern is easier to see than to undo. Chasing that feeling rarely returns it. An account limit or a short pause set tonight costs nothing and settles things before the next session.

These tend to appear quietly, one at a time, before they stack up.

Spending past the amount you set out with
Playing longer than you told yourself you would
Borrowing to keep a session going
Keeping play quiet from the people around you
Chasing a loss with a bigger stake
Losing track of time inside a session
Feeling flat or tense until you next log in

Free support, no names taken

Where does free and confidential help sit in this country?

We point the same way whether you are simply curious or sure something needs to change.

National Gambling Helpline (GamCare)

Trained advisers answer around the clock, every day, at no cost, and nothing you say leaves the call. Players and relatives alike can ask about local support and be pointed to the right service in this country. 0808 8020 133 gamcare.org.uk

Gamblers Anonymous

Peer-led meetings run free of charge, with no appointment and no referral needed, and relatives or friends may attend mixed sessions alongside the person who plays. Ringing ahead is optional rather than required. gamblersanonymous.org.uk

Once the break has to be real

The evening you just want out. A time-out in your account is the lighter option, and it runs from hours to days. Starting it in the account settings blocks play until the period ends, and support stays open if you need to ask something.

Shut the door for longer. Longer than a pause, self-exclusion in your account shuts off access for a stretch of months rather than days. You request it in the account and it stays in place once it begins, so the choice is made before, not during, a session.

Cover beyond one account. GAMSTOP is the national scheme for this country, operated by The National Online Self Exclusion Scheme Limited. Registering covers a minimum of six months, with a year or five years as further options, and it can take up to 24 hours to apply. Applications are made online with email verification and are open to residents here. gamstop.co.uk

Answers in brief

Limits and exclusion, briefly

Whether a block here reaches other sites, and who to call when play feels too heavy.

If I self-exclude here, does it cover other casinos?+

Not on its own. An exclusion set in your Rakebit Casino account covers this account only, while GAMSTOP is the national scheme that can block you across licensed sites in the United Kingdom. Registering with GAMSTOP takes up to 24 hours to take effect, so join it first if you want the wider cover.

Can I shut my account permanently by emailing you?+

Yes. Write to [email protected] from your registered address and ask for the account to be closed for good. Our team will confirm the closure and talk you through what an exclusion would give you beyond a simple shutdown.

What can I do about a family member who plays too much?+

Call the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133, which answers at any hour and advises relatives as well as players. Gamblers Anonymous also runs mixed meetings where families and friends are welcome. You do not need the person's permission to ask for guidance yourself.

Do the limit tools work if I only ever play on mobile?+

They do. The mobile version of the site carries the same account section as the desktop, so deposit limits, loss limits and session reminders are all available in the same place. Nothing is left out of the smaller screen.

Can a self-exclusion be lifted before the period ends?+

No. Once you confirm an exclusion, it stands for the whole span you chose, and our team cannot shorten it for you. Treat the longest option as the one you can live with, because the decision is fixed once it is made.
