SAFER GAMBLING

WELCOME TO SAFER GAMBLING AT ITV WIN GAMING

Gambling should always be enjoyable. We want you in control every time you play our casino and bingo games. This page gives you the tools, tips and support to help you manage your play safely and confidently.

1. Staying in Control

Most people who gamble do so for entertainment. However, for some individuals, gambling can become harmful. We encourage players to stay mindful of how much time and money they spend and to build healthy habits around play.

Safer gambling tips include:

  • Only gamble with money you can afford to lose
  • Treat gambling as entertainment, not a source of income
  • Never chase losses
  • Take regular breaks
  • Notice how long you’ve been playing
  • Avoid gambling when stressed, tired, or under the influence
  • Keep gambling in balance with other hobbies and activities

If at any point gambling stops being enjoyable, consider using the tools and support options provided below.

2. Tracking Your Activity

Understanding your play patterns is an important part of staying in control. Your account includes several tools designed to help you monitor your behaviour over time.

Account History

Your Account History provides a full record of your deposits, withdrawals, and gaming activity. Reviewing this regularly can help you stay aware of your spending and identify changes in your behaviour.

Net Deposits

Your net deposit figure represents all deposits made into your account minus all withdrawals. Many players find this a useful way to understand their overall financial position across all gameplay.

If any of these figures cause concern, consider setting limits or taking a break.

3. Recognising Gambling Harm

Harmful gambling can develop gradually. Recognising early signs allows you to take action before problems grow.

You may be at risk if you experience:

  • Spending more than you planned
  • Difficulty stopping once you begin
  • Chasing losses
  • Hiding the extent of your gambling
  • Using money meant for bills or essentials
  • Borrowing to fund gambling
  • Feeling stressed, anxious, or guilty about gambling
  • Gambling affecting your relationships, work, or wellbeing
  • Thinking about gambling frequently throughout the day

If any of these signs feel familiar, consider using our Safer Gambling Tools or contacting one of the support organisations listed later on this page.

4. Setting Limits

Setting limits is one of the most effective ways to manage your play. Limits are available through the Safer Gambling Tools section of your account and can be adjusted at any time.

Net Deposit Limits

Net Deposit Limits put you in control of what you add to your account. You can set a daily, weekly or monthly limit. They are based on your total deposits minus any withdrawals.

  • Lowering a limit takes effect immediately
  • Raising a limit requires a 24-hour cooling-off period and must be reconfirmed
  • Deposit limits cannot be overridden once in place

These limits help ensure spending remains within your personal budget.

Loss Limits

Loss Limits restrict how much you can lose over a 24-hour, 7-day, or 30-day period.

  • Reductions apply immediately
  • Increases require a 24-hour cooling-off period
  • Loss limits help you prevent unplanned or reactive spending

Reality Checks

Reality Checks are timed reminders that show how long you have been playing. You can choose reminders every 15, 30, or 60 minutes.

When a Reality Check appears, gameplay pauses until you acknowledge it. This pause allows you to take stock and decide whether you wish to continue.

5. Time-Out

A Time-Out is a short break from gambling. It can help if you feel your play is becoming harder to control, or if you simply want to step back for a period.

You can choose a Time-Out of:

  • 24 hours
  • 1 week
  • 1 month
  • 6 weeks

During a Time-Out:

  • You cannot log in or gamble
  • Any attempt to open a new account will be blocked
  • Marketing communications are stopped

Your account will reopen automatically when the chosen period ends.

If you feel you need a more substantial break, Self-Exclusion may be more appropriate.

6. Self-Exclusion

Self-Exclusion is designed for individuals who need a long-term break from gambling. You can exclude yourself for:

  • 6 months
  • 12 months
  • 2 years
  • 3 years
  • 5 years

Once activated, Self-Exclusion cannot be undone until the full period has passed.

During Self-Exclusion:

  • You cannot access your account
  • You cannot register new accounts
  • Marketing communications cease
  • We return funds where appropriate

After the Self-Exclusion period ends:

  • Reach out to Customer Support to reactivate your account only if you feel ready and comfortable resuming gambling
  • We may ask additional questions to confirm reactivation is safe
  • A 24-hour cooling-off period will apply

Multi-Operator Self-Exclusion

For wider protection, we recommend registering with:

  • GAMSTOP – blocks access to all licensed online gambling sites in Great Britain
  • SENSE – protects players in land-based casinos
  • MOSES – exclusions for betting shops

10. Understanding Casino & Bingo Games

Knowing how games work helps you make informed decisions.

Slots

Each spin is determined by a Random Number Generator (RNG), ensuring the outcome is random and independent of previous results. No action can influence the result of a spin.

Blackjack

Although the game involves decision-making, the outcome ultimately depends on chance. House rules and game information are available within each game.

Roulette

Every spin is independent. The ball’s landing position is random and unaffected by previous outcomes.

Bingo

Numbers are drawn randomly, and every player has an equal chance of winning based on the tickets they hold.

RNG Fairness

All games use certified RNG software that undergoes regular testing to ensure fairness.

Return to Player (RTP)

RTP reflects the long-term average percentage of stakes a game returns to players. It is not a guarantee of what will happen in any session, nor does it predict individual outcomes.
