Set limits before you play
- Deposit limits: most casinos let you cap how much you deposit per day, week or month in your account settings.
- Time-outs: take a break for a day, a week or longer without closing your account.
- Self-exclusion: close your account for months or permanently. Ask the casino's support team if you can't find the option.
- Reality checks: reminders that show how long you have been playing.
Warning signs
- You spend more time or money than you planned, or chase losses.

- You hide your gambling from family or friends.
Protection under Irish law
The Gambling Regulation Act 2024 set up the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI) and provides for a National Gambling Exclusion Register run by the regulator, along with restrictions on gambling advertising.
