Set a budget and a time limit before gambling. Do not chase losses or use money needed for essential expenses. Check the operator’s responsible gambling section for available limits, breaks and self-exclusion. Gambling is not a source of income. If it stops being enjoyable, stop and seek support.

Choose an amount you can afford to lose and a fixed time to stop. A deposit limit controls money paid into an account; it is not necessarily the same as a loss limit. Check which limits the operator offers, how they are calculated, and when changes take effect.
Take a break or self-exclude
A cooling-off period is usually a temporary pause. Self-exclusion is a stronger request to block gambling access. Ask the operator about duration, scope across related brands, treatment of any remaining balance and the confirmation process. Do not open another account to work around an exclusion.
Recognise when to stop
Chasing losses, borrowing to gamble, hiding spending or being unable to stop are reasons to step back. Gambling outcomes cannot be made reliable by increasing stakes or playing longer. Keep money for bills and essential expenses separate from any gambling budget.
Get support outside the casino
Gambling Therapy offers online support and information in multiple languages. You can seek help even if you are unsure whether gambling is becoming a problem. Support services and national exclusion schemes differ by location; check their scope before relying on them.
Can this website close my Goldengun account?
No. Goldengun.net cannot change operator accounts or activate an exclusion. Contact the operator through its verified website and keep its confirmation. Use independent support if you need help taking that step.
