Time-Out & Cooling-Off Guide
How temporary gambling breaks work and how to choose between a short time-out, longer exclusion and other account controls.
Temporary breaks
A time-out usually blocks gambling access for a defined period. Exact periods and rules vary by operator.
When to use one
A break can be useful after emotional play, repeated losses or when gambling is interfering with sleep, work, study or relationships.
Stronger measures
If repeated time-outs do not help, consider self-exclusion and specialist support rather than repeatedly reopening access.
