WinPlace Spending Boundaries and Gambling Support

WinPlace Editorial Team Last updated

A cashier balance is money at risk, not money saved. Decide an affordable spending amount and a stopping time before opening a game. Only adults aged 18 or over may play. Never fund a session with money needed for essentials.

Understand our regulatory position

We are not licensed by the UK Gambling Commission and not part of GAMSTOP. A registration with that service does not exclude you here. If you use GAMSTOP, avoid opening an account and ask our support team to exclude an existing one.

Put a boundary on the account

Deposit limits are available through support. You can also request closure for a set period or self-exclusion when you need a stronger break. Explain the change you want and ask the team to confirm its terms. A promotion or VIP benefit is never a reason to abandon your boundary.

Notice changes in your behaviour

Pause if withdrawals become a reason to keep depositing, if you chase money already lost, or if gambling takes priority over work or relationships. Borrowing, concealing spending and feeling distressed when unable to play are further warning signs. Contact someone rather than trying to solve these feelings with another session.

Support beyond an account

GamCare's National Gambling Helpline is available on 0808 8020 133. GambleAware offers information and access to help. Gordon Moody provides treatment support, while Gamblers Anonymous offers peer meetings. Gambling Therapy can provide online support.

Gamban supplies blocking software for devices. Parental filters help protect children using shared equipment; keep account credentials private and sign out afterwards. Combine outside help with account restrictions where needed, so your next step supports the break you have chosen.
