Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling
Independent Casino is licensed and regulated by the United Kingdom Gambling Commission (UKGC). We adhere to the highest standards of player protection and are dedicated to preventing gambling-related harm. Our platform is designed with multiple safeguards to help you maintain control over your gambling activity.
Self-Management Tools
We provide a comprehensive suite of tools to help you manage your gambling:
Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on the amount you can deposit into your account. These limits help you budget your gambling expenditure and prevent overspending. You can decrease your limits at any time, with immediate effect. Increases to limits require a 24-hour cooling-off period.
Loss Limits
Control your potential losses by setting a maximum amount you are prepared to lose over a specified period. Once this limit is reached, you will be unable to place further wagers until the period resets.
Session Time Limits
Set alerts to remind you how long you have been playing. You can configure notifications to appear at intervals you choose, helping you stay aware of the time you spend gambling.
Reality Checks
Enable pop-up notifications that display your session duration and net wins or losses. These regular reminders help you make informed decisions about whether to continue playing.
Taking a Break
If you feel you need time away from gambling, we offer several options:
Time-Out
Take a short break from gambling for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this period, you will not be able to access your account or place any bets. Time-outs cannot be reversed once activated.
Self-Exclusion
For longer breaks, you can self-exclude for a minimum period of 6 months. During self-exclusion, your account will be closed, any pending bets will be settled, and you will be removed from all marketing communications. Self-exclusion is irreversible for the chosen duration.
GAMSTOP – National Self-Exclusion

Problem gambling can affect anyone. Warning signs include spending more money or time gambling than you can afford, difficulty stopping or controlling gambling, gambling causing arguments or relationship problems, neglecting work or family responsibilities, borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble, and feeling anxious or stressed about gambling.
