Responsible gambling at Zet

• Zet
• Zet Responsible gaming

Gambling works as entertainment when it stays optional — something you choose rather than something you need. This page sets out the tools available at Zet, the signs that matter, and where to turn in the UK when you need someone to talk to. All players must be aged 18 or over (18+).

Why this matters

Games of chance carry risk. Most people play without trouble, but for some it tips into something harder to control. Recognising the moment it stops being fun is the first step toward pulling it back.

Responsible gambling is not about stopping entirely unless that is what you need. It is about staying aware of how much time and money the activity takes, and whether it still fits the rest of your life.

Signs gambling is getting out of hand

Watch for these behaviours — any one of them is worth taking seriously:

• Spending more than you planned, or chasing losses after a bad session
• Borrowing money to gamble, or using funds set aside for bills or rent
• Lying to family or friends about how much you play or how much you spend
• Feeling restless or irritable when you try to cut back
• Using gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety or depression
• Neglecting work, relationships or other responsibilities to make time for it

If more than one of those rings true, it is time to pause and reconsider how the activity fits into your week.

Questions worth asking yourself

A short self-check can help clarify whether gambling is still under control. Answer honestly — these are for you, not a diagnosis:

• Have you spent more than you could afford to lose in the past month?
• Do you feel the need to bet with larger amounts to get the same thrill?
• Have you tried to cut back and found it harder than expected?
• Have you borrowed money or sold anything to fund gambling?
• Do you feel guilty or anxious after a session?
• Has gambling caused arguments with people you care about?
• Have you missed work, social plans or family time because of it?
• Do you gamble to forget about problems or to feel better when you are down?

More than a couple of yes answers suggests it is worth reaching out for support, even if you are not sure yet whether you need it.

Control tools available at Zet

The platform offers self-exclusion as a formal break from play. To request it, contact our support team by email at [email protected]. Self-exclusion closes your access to the account for a set period, and you cannot reverse the decision once it is in place until the term expires.

We also provide links to external organisations that specialise in gambling support: GamCare (https://www.gamcare.org.uk), Gamblers Anonymous, and Gambling Therapy. Each offers confidential advice and community support at no cost.

For households with children or other vulnerable people, we recommend Net Nanny as filtering software that can block gambling sites entirely at the device or network level. This adds a layer of protection when a shared device is in use.

Practical limits that work

Setting boundaries before you play makes it easier to stick to them. Here are five approaches that help:

• Decide on a fixed amount you are comfortable losing before you deposit, and stop when you reach it — whether you are ahead or behind.
• Set a time limit for each session, and use an alarm or timer to signal when it is up.
• Never gamble with money you need for rent, bills, groceries or other essentials.
• Avoid chasing losses — if you lose more than planned, close the session rather than depositing again to win it back.
• Keep gambling separate from alcohol or times when you are stressed or upset — decisions made in those moments are harder to stand by later.

Limits only work when you follow them consistently. If you find yourself bending your own rules, that is a signal worth paying attention to.

Where to get help in the UK

Free, confidential support is available across the UK from organisations that understand problem gambling and treat it without judgment.

GamCare runs the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133, open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The service is free from landlines and mobiles, and you do not need to give your name. Visit https://www.gamcare.org.uk for live chat and resources.

BeGambleAware (https://www.begambleaware.org) offers information, self-assessment tools and direct referrals to treatment services. The site also hosts forums where people share experiences and strategies.

GamStop (https://www.gamstop.co.uk) is a free self-exclusion scheme that blocks access to all UK-licensed gambling sites for a period you choose — six months, one year or five years. Once registered, you cannot reverse it until the term ends.

Gordon Moody (https://www.gordonmoody.org.uk) provides residential treatment and online therapy for people with severe gambling problems. The charity has been running since 1971 and offers structured programmes alongside peer support.

Blocking software

If you want to remove the temptation entirely, two tools make it harder to access gambling sites:

Gamban (https://gamban.com) is paid software that blocks tens of thousands of gambling websites and apps across all your devices. It runs quietly in the background and cannot be easily disabled once installed.

BetBlocker (https://betblocker.org) is a free, open-source alternative that works on computers, phones and tablets. It covers gambling sites and apps worldwide, and you can set it to block for a fixed period.

Protecting minors

All gambling sites are restricted to players aged 18 and over (18+). If you share a device with someone under that age, parental-control software such as Net Nanny or Qustodio can block access to gambling content entirely. Both tools let you set age-appropriate filters and monitor which sites are visited.

Keeping login details private and logging out after each session reduces the chance of someone else accessing your account.

When to reach out

You do not need to wait until the problem feels unmanageable. Calling a helpline or starting a chat with GamCare is not an admission of failure — it is a practical step toward understanding what is happening and what to do next.

Support is confidential, free, and available now. If gambling has stopped feeling like entertainment, that is reason enough to pick up the phone.
