Tools that help

Time-outs and cool-offs: short breaks (24 hours – 6 weeks) that block your account.
Self-exclusion: longer-term blocks (6 months – permanent). UK players can self-exclude from all licensed operators at once via GAMSTOP.
Blocking software: tools like Gamban and BetBlocker block gambling sites on your devices.
