Responsible Gambling
Play within your limits
Gambling should stay a form of entertainment. If it stops being fun, it is time to pause. Our tools are in your account and in the help area, and you can use them at any moment.
Deposit limits
You can choose how much you are able to deposit, and we can set a limit as well. Players under 25 have a monthly limit of £500 or 500 euro unless a personal limit is already in place. When two limits apply, the lower one counts.
Reminders
Session reminders and reality checks show how long you have been playing, so you can decide whether to carry on.
Taking a break
A cooling off period lasts anywhere from 24 hours to 30 days. For a longer stop, self-exclusion can run for 6 months, 1 to 5 years or for good. We try to return any balance when an exclusion begins and we email you the details.
Exclusion across brands
An exclusion from all Sky Betting and Gaming products is shared with Betfair and Paddy Power when we can match your details, and a tombola exclusion reaches us the same way. We still suggest asking each operator directly.
GAMSTOP
You can also sign up with GAMSTOP, which blocks you from gambling sites licensed in Great Britain that take part in the scheme. While it is active, you cannot play with us. Use the same details there as on your account so that the block reaches us.
Help outside Sky Vegas
GamCare offers free advice and counselling to anyone affected by gambling, including family and friends. Its helpline 0808 8020 133 is open from 8am until midnight every day. GambleAware also has guidance on safer play.
Under 18s
You must be 18 or older to play. Underage gambling is an offence. If children can use your device, parental controls help keep gambling sites out of reach.
