Padbrokes believes gambling should be a source of entertainment, not a burden. We provide comprehensive self-control tools and active support to ensure every member stays in full control throughout their play.
Data based on the 2026 Padbrokes member survey.
All these tools can be activated directly from your account or by contacting our support team. No questions asked, no lengthy waiting periods.
Set the maximum amount you can deposit within a daily, weekly, or monthly period. This limit takes effect immediately upon activation and cannot be increased for 24 hours to prevent impulsive decisions.
Set the maximum loss amount you are willing to accept per day, week, or month. Once the limit is reached, your account will be blocked from placing any new bets until the reset period begins.
Limit the amount of time you can spend in a single gaming session. The system will send you an alert as you approach the time limit and automatically log you out once it is reached, helping you take regular breaks.
Need a short break? Activate self-pause mode to temporarily block access to your account. Choose a period of 24 hours, 72 hours, 1 week, 2 weeks, or 1 month. During this period, you cannot log in or place any bets.
If you feel you need to stop for a longer period, the self-exclusion option lets you close your account for 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. Requests are processed within 24 hours, no questions asked.
You can opt out of promotional emails, bonus notifications, or special offers at any time. These controls help you avoid unnecessary temptation and make gaming decisions based on your own preferences, not marketing pressure.
For most people, gambling is an enjoyable leisure activity — a way to unwind, challenge yourself, and enjoy the excitement that comes with controlled wagering. This is the reality that Padbrokes fully understands and supports.
But we also recognise that not everyone is in the same position. For some individuals, gambling can shift from entertainment into something more serious — and when that happens, it is important to have the right support systems in the right place. That is why Padbrokes invests seriously in our responsible gaming programme, not merely as a licensing requirement, but as a moral commitment to our member community.
We build easy-to-use self-control tools, train our customer support team to identify early signs of problem gambling, and ensure that help resources are always within easy reach. More importantly, we do not make using these tools a source of shame — we actively encourage them as smart practice for every player.
Core Principles: Padbrokes believes every player has the right to enjoy gambling in a safe and controlled way. Our platform is designed to support freedom of choice while providing a robust safety net.
Decide how much you are willing to spend before opening the platform. Treat that amount as an entertainment cost — just like a movie ticket or a dinner out.
If you have reached your loss limit for the day, stop. Trying to "win back" money you have lost is one of the most dangerous habits in gambling.
Activate session time reminders in your Padbrokes account. Taking a break after every hour of play helps you make calmer, better decisions.
Gambling should be played in a relaxed and positive state of mind. Playing to escape emotional or financial problems rarely leads to good outcomes.
Padbrokes provides a full betting history report within your account. Review it regularly to stay aware of your actual spending patterns.
Early warning signs of a gambling problem can be subtle. Check the following signals honestly with yourself:
If gambling occupies your thoughts even while you are working or spending time with family, this is an early warning sign that deserves attention.
Needing to bet larger amounts to achieve the same level of satisfaction is a concerning sign of tolerance.
Using money set aside for bills, food, or other necessities to fund gambling is a serious warning sign that requires immediate action.
Lying to family or friends about the time or money spent gambling is a sign of an inner awareness that something is wrong.
If you have tried to stop or cut back on gambling but were unable to, this is the clearest sign that professional support is needed.
Stop when you are satisfied, whether you win or lose. This is the mark of a healthy, responsible player.
If you recognise three or more of the warning signs listed above in yourself, we encourage you to contact the Padbrokes support team or activate self-exclusion immediately.
Or contact our 24/7 support via live chat if you need assistance.
Responsible gaming is not solely the individual player's responsibility — it is a shared responsibility between the player and the platform. Padbrokes takes this seriously.
Our customer support team undergoes specialist training to identify suspicious play patterns and approach members who may need help in a sensitive, non-judgmental way. We never encourage players to reverse lowered limits or deposit more than usual.
Our system also automatically tracks play patterns. If it detects a sudden change in betting behaviour — such as a sharp spike in deposit amounts or bets far above the norm — our team will proactively review the account in question.
Understanding the realities of gambling helps you make smarter decisions and enjoy the platform in a healthier way.
All casino games use certified RNG. There are no predictable patterns or strategies that guarantee wins.
Every game has a house edge — a mathematical probability that favours the platform over the long run.
Gambling is best enjoyed as entertainment with a set budget — not as a reliable source of extra income.
The ability to stop playing — whether winning or losing — is the mark of a player who games healthily and is fully in control.
Over 100,000 Padbrokes members play every day using the self-control tools we provide. Register now and set your limits from day one.
For individuals aged 18 and above only. If you need help, contact our support team 24/7.
