Responsible Gambling at Wildies
1. Our commitment to responsible gambling
We take responsible gambling seriously, and that's not just a line we include because we have to. Every tool on this page exists because we care about what happens to you after you log in, not just while you're playing. We want gambling to stay what it should always be: entertainment, nothing more.
2. Recognising problem gambling signs
Problem gambling affects people differently, and it doesn't always look the way you'd expect. Sometimes it's chasing losses, sometimes it's hiding how much time you've spent playing, sometimes it's borrowing money you weren't planning to spend. It can creep up quietly, which is exactly why we encourage you to check in with yourself regularly.
Here are some signs worth paying attention to:
- Spending more time or money than you intended
- Chasing losses with bigger bets
- Gambling to escape stress, boredom, or sadness
- Lying to friends or family about how much you gamble
- Neglecting work, relationships, or responsibilities
- Borrowing money or selling things to fund gambling
- Feeling irritable or anxious when trying to cut back
3. Self-assessment tools and awareness
Our self-assessment questions help you take an honest look at your own habits, without judgement. It only takes a couple of minutes, and the answers are just for you. Being honest with yourself is the first step to staying in control.
- Do you gamble to escape problems or difficult emotions?
- Have you tried to cut back and found it hard?
- Do you feel guilty about your gambling?
- Have you lied to anyone about how much you've spent?
- Has gambling caused problems with money, work, or relationships?
- Do you think about gambling even when you're not playing?
If you answered yes to a few of these, it might be time to use one of the tools below. There's no shame in it. We'd rather you played safely than not at all.
4. Deposit limits and budget management
Your budget stays in your control, always. We give you the ability to set limits on what you deposit, so you never spend more than you've decided is comfortable. Changing them is simple, and lowering a limit takes effect straight away.
Available limit types include:
- Daily deposit limits
- Weekly deposit limits
- Monthly deposit limits
- Loss limits
- Wager limits
Increasing a limit requires a short cooling-off period before it applies. This gives you time to reconsider, rather than acting on impulse.
5. Time limits and session controls
Setting a time limit takes seconds, and it can make a real difference to how your sessions feel. We let you cap how long you play for, whether that's an hour a day or a few hours a week. Once your limit is reached, we'll let you know and pause your session.
Session controls aren't about restricting fun. They're there so time doesn't slip away without you noticing, which happens more easily than most people expect when you're enjoying yourself.
6. Self-exclusion options
It's not always easy to recognise when to step back, and that's okay. We've built several exclusion options so you can choose what fits your situation, whether that's a short break or something more permanent.
- Temporary self-exclusion (24 hours, one week, or one month)
- Extended self-exclusion (six months or longer)
- Permanent account closure
- GAMSTOP registration, which blocks access across all UK-licensed gambling sites
Once you've excluded yourself, we won't send you marketing emails or promotions during that period. Reversing a self-exclusion before it ends isn't something we allow, because the whole point is to protect you from a decision made in the moment.
7. Reality checks and account activity alerts
We send reality checks during longer sessions to remind you how much time has passed. These pop-ups show your session length and give you the option to keep playing or log off. Small reminders like this help break the trance that long sessions can sometimes create.
You can also request a summary of your account activity at any time, including deposits, wins, losses, and time spent playing. Having this information laid out plainly makes it much easier to stay aware of your own patterns.
8. Protection of minors and underage access prevention
Under UKGC guidelines, gambling is strictly for those aged 18 and over, and we apply this rule without exception. Every account goes through age and identity verification before withdrawals are processed, and we use checks designed to catch underage attempts at registration.
If you share a device or household with someone under 18, we strongly recommend installing parental control software such as Gamban, NetNanny, or CyberPatrol to prevent access to gambling sites altogether. These tools work at device level, so they protect against more than just our platform. Keeping children away from gambling environments is a shared responsibility, and we take our side of it seriously.
9. Support organisations and professional help
We understand that reaching out for help can feel difficult, sometimes more difficult than admitting there's a problem in the first place. You don't have to go through this alone, and you don't have to wait until things feel unmanageable before getting support.
These organisations offer free, confidential help across the United Kingdom:
- National Gambling Helpline (GamCare): 0808 8020 133, available 24 hours a day
- GAMSTOP: national self-exclusion scheme for UK gambling websites
- BeGambleAware: information, advice, and free support tools
- Gamblers Anonymous UK: peer support meetings held nationwide
- UK Gambling Commission (UKGC): regulatory body overseeing licensed operators
Any of these organisations can offer guidance whether you're worried about yourself or someone close to you.
10. How to contact our responsible gambling team
When you need to talk to someone about your gambling, our responsible gambling team is ready to listen, without judgement and without rushing you off the call. You can reach out to set limits, request self-exclusion, ask about tools, or simply talk through what you're feeling.
