Zero Tolerance for Underage Gambling

Playing at ladbrokes should be an enjoyable experience — a form of entertainment, not a burden. That is why we take responsible gaming seriously, not merely as a licensing obligation, but as a core value that underpins how we operate every day.

We understand that gambling can carry risks for some individuals. For most players, it is simply one way to have fun and try their luck. However, we also recognise that for a small number of people, it can become a habit that is difficult to control. ladbrokes is designed not only to deliver the best gaming experience, but also to ensure you are always playing in a healthy and controlled manner.

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means playing with awareness — knowing how much money you spend, how much time you put in, and understanding that wins are never guaranteed. It's about keeping gambling a small part of your life, not the centre of it.

At ladbrokes, we provide a range of tools and mechanisms that let you manage your own playing habits. All features are accessible directly through your account, with no approval waiting or complicated processes.

Limits & Self-Control Tools

One of the most effective ways to stay in control is to set limits before you start playing, not after. ladbrokes provides the following tools free of charge to all registered users:

Daily / Weekly / Monthly Deposit Limits — Set the maximum amount you can deposit into your account within a given period. Once the limit is reached, our system will automatically block further deposits.
Session Time Limits — Set how long you want to play in a single session. When the time is up, you will be notified and, if preferred, automatically logged out.
Loss Limits — Set the maximum loss amount you can handle. Once this limit is reached, the system will not allow any additional bets for the time being.
Cool-Off — Choose to take a short break of 24 hours, 48 hours, one week, or one month. Your account will be temporarily deactivated to give you space to breathe.
Self-Exclusion — If you feel gambling has seriously affected your life, you can exclude yourself completely for a minimum of 6 months or permanently. This is the last resort option, and one we fully support.

Signs of Problem Gambling

It can sometimes be hard to admit there is a problem, especially to yourself. Here are some warning signs to watch out for:

Be cautious if you find yourself:

  • Using money meant for bills, food, or basic necessities to gamble.
  • Lying to family or friends about your gambling activity.
  • Trying to win back money that has already been lost (chasing losses).
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or uncomfortable when unable to gamble.
  • Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling.
  • Borrowing money or selling assets to continue gambling.

If any of the above feels close to your own experience, this is not a sign of weakness — it is a sign that you may need support. Reaching out for help is a brave and wise decision.

Young Player Protection

Ladbrokes takes the protection of minors very seriously. Our platform is for individuals aged 18 and above only. Our KYC verification process ensures every new user confirms their age before making any deposit or wager.

If you share a device with younger family members, we encourage you to use appropriate parental control software and ensure your ladbrokes account is protected with a strong password and active two-factor authentication (2FA).

Gambling Realities You Need to Understand

Gambling is entertainment with a cost, not a strategy for making money. Every casino game has a house edge, which means that on average, the house always wins in the long run. This is no secret — it is mathematics. Understanding this allows you to play with realistic expectations and have fun without the pressure to "win it all back".

Smart Tip: Set your entertainment budget before you log in. Money set aside for gambling should be money you can afford to lose — just like buying a cinema ticket or dining out. Once that budget is spent, close your session and come back another time.

Gambling Risk Level

Understanding the risk spectrum helps you assess where you stand.

Needs Attention (Moderate) 55%

Protection Features

Ladbrokes Self-Control Tools

Every one of these tools is designed to be easy to use and takes effect immediately — no red tape, no long waits.

Flexible Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on your deposits. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. To increase a limit, a 24-hour waiting period applies to protect you from impulsive decisions.

Session Time Alerts

Enable session time alerts to receive notifications after 30, 60, or 90 minutes of play. This feature helps you stay aware of time spent on the platform without interrupting your gameplay.

Automatic Loss Limits

When your total losses reach the limit you have set, the system will automatically block new wagers. This prevents you from continuing to chase losses in an emotionally unstable state.

Cool-Off Mode

Need a short break? Activate Cool-Off mode to lock your account for 24 hours up to 4 weeks. Perfect for when you feel like stepping back to clear your head.

Permanent Self-Exclusion

The most serious option for those who truly need help. Once activated for a minimum period of 6 months, no one — including yourself — can cancel this exclusion before the period ends.

Personal Activity Report

Review your betting history, total deposits, and session time at any time through your account dashboard. Awareness of your playing patterns is the first step toward healthier gaming.

FAQ

Questions About Responsible Gaming

For short-term self-exclusion (Cool-Off), it expires automatically when the selected period ends. For full self-exclusion, the minimum period is 6 months and cannot be cancelled before it ends — this is an intentional safeguard. Once the period is over, you will need to contact customer support directly to reactivate your account.

No — this is a protection feature we designed intentionally. When you lower your deposit limit, it takes effect immediately. But when you want to raise it again, there is a 24-hour waiting period before the change applies. This gives you time to reconsider the decision with a clearer head.

This is a sensitive situation that calls for a gentle approach. Encourage them to speak with someone they trust, and let them know about the support resources available. You can also contact the ladbrokes support team for guidance on how to help your loved one through this situation.

Not at all. When you activate self-exclusion or Cool-Off mode, your account is removed from all marketing lists and promotional communications. You will not receive any emails, notifications, or promotional offers for the duration of the active exclusion. This is a commitment we will not compromise on.

The minimum age is 18. All new users are required to go through a KYC verification process that checks age before they are allowed to deposit or place bets. If a user is found to be underage, their account will be terminated immediately and any remaining balance will be returned.
