Simple checks that matter
Decide on your spend before you log in. A deposit limit set in advance is more useful than one added halfway through a frustrating session. If you notice that you are extending time, changing stakes impulsively or trying to recover losses, stop and step away. Licensed UK casinos should provide deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion tools in your account area.
Strong operators make those controls easy to find. If a site hides them, that is a warning sign, not a minor design quirk.
