Responsible gaming at Liraspin
Gambling works as entertainment when you set the boundaries yourself. Liraspin runs a set of controls you can apply to your own account, and free UK support is a click or a call away when you need it. This page lists what you can set, where to find help, and how to protect anyone who shares your device.
Why this matters
Online slots and sports betting are built to keep you playing. That design is not accidental, and it is why some people find it harder to stop than they expected. Gambling should feel like a choice, not a compulsion – the moment it stops being fun is the moment to step back.
The stakes are real. Money lost cannot be replaced by another spin, and time spent chasing losses is time you will not get back. If you have ever stayed longer than you planned, spent more than you meant to, or lied about either, you have crossed into territory worth paying attention to.
Signs gambling is getting out of hand
These are behaviours, not judgments. If three or more describe you in the past month, it is time to take them seriously.
- You gamble to win back what you have already lost.
- You hide deposits, withdrawals or session times from the people around you.
- You borrow money to keep playing, or you delay paying bills to fund a deposit.
- You feel restless or irritable when you try to cut down.
- You think about gambling constantly – during work, during conversations, before sleep.
- You play to escape problems or to numb feelings of guilt, anxiety or depression.
None of these mean you have failed. They mean the behaviour has outgrown your control, and that is fixable with the right support.
Questions worth asking yourself
Answer yes or no. Be honest – nobody else will see this.
- Have you ever gambled longer than you intended?
- Have you felt guilty or ashamed after a session?
- Have you borrowed money to gamble, or sold something to cover a loss?
- Has gambling caused problems in your relationships or at work?
- Do you feel the need to bet more money to get the same level of excitement?
- Have you tried to stop or cut down, but found you could not?
- After losing, do you feel you must return as soon as possible to win it back?
- Have you lied to anyone about how much time or money you spend gambling?
One or two yes answers are not a diagnosis, but they are a signal. Four or more, and the pattern is clear enough to act on.
Our control tools
We provide deposit limits, session time limits, loss limits and self-exclusion. Each one is applied through your account settings, and each one locks in for a minimum period once you activate it.
Deposit limits cap how much you can add to your balance in a day, a week or a month. Set one below what you can afford to lose, not at the edge of it. The limit takes effect immediately and can be lowered at any time – raising it requires a 24-hour cooling-off period.
Session time limits disconnect you automatically after a set duration. You choose the length; the system enforces it. This stops the sessions that run past midnight because you lost track of the time.
Loss limits close your access once you have lost a specified amount in a given period. The limit applies to net losses – deposits minus withdrawals – and resets at the end of each cycle.
Self-exclusion blocks your account for a minimum of six months. Before it activates, the platform holds you in a 24-hour cooling-off period – a last chance to reconsider. Once the exclusion begins, you cannot reverse it, and any attempt to open a new account with us will be refused. Self-exclusion is the right choice when smaller limits are not enough.
Practical limits that work
A limit only helps if you set it before you need it. These are the ones that survive contact with a losing streak.
- Decide your budget for the week before you deposit, and stick to it regardless of whether you win or lose early.
- Set a session timer for 60 or 90 minutes. When it goes off, log out – even if you are ahead.
- Never chase a loss on the same day. If you lose your budget, that session is over.
- Keep gambling money separate from bill money. If rent is due, that cash does not go near a deposit screen.
- Tell someone you trust what your limit is, and check in with them weekly. Accountability matters when willpower does not.
Where to get help in the UK
Free, confidential support is available around the clock. You do not need to be in crisis to call – early help prevents worse problems later.
GamCare runs the National Gambling Helpline at 0808 8020 133, open 24/7. The call is free from any phone, and the advisers are trained to listen without judgment. Live chat is available at gamcare.org.uk if you prefer typing to talking.
BeGambleAware at begambleaware.org offers a self-assessment tool, a directory of local treatment services, and forums where you can read about others who have faced the same decisions you are facing now.
GamStop at gamstop.co.uk is a free national self-exclusion scheme. Register once, and you are blocked from every UK-licensed gambling site for six months, one year or five years – your choice. It takes five minutes to set up and cannot be undone until the term expires.
Gordon Moody at gordonmoody.org.uk provides residential treatment and online therapy for people whose gambling has caused serious harm. The program is fully funded, and referrals are handled by GamCare.
Blocking software
If website-level exclusions are not enough, install blocking software that covers your whole device.
Gamban (gamban.com) blocks access to tens of thousands of gambling sites across every browser and app on your phone, tablet or computer. It costs a small subscription fee and runs quietly in the background – no reminders, no bypasses.
BetBlocker (betblocker.org) is free, open-source and works on Windows, Mac, Android and iOS. It blocks gambling sites and hides gambling ads. You set the block duration when you install it, and it cannot be turned off early.
Protecting minors
Access to this site is restricted to players aged 18 and over (18+). If you share a device with someone younger, install parental-control software such as Net Nanny or Qustodio to block gambling sites at the device level. A browser history can be cleared; a properly configured filter cannot.
Children learn by watching. If they see gambling treated as a normal daily activity, they will treat it the same way when they are old enough to try it themselves. Keep sessions private, and never gamble in front of minors.
For questions about our responsible gaming policies, contact us at [email protected]. For immediate help with problem gambling, call the National Gambling Helpline at 0808 8020 133.
Access to this site is for players aged 18 and over (18+) only. If gambling ever stops feeling like entertainment, free and confidential support is available at BeGambleAware.org.
