Responsible Gambling
Gambling should remain a form of entertainment, and it carries financial risk and the possibility of loss. Spinmama supports responsible gambling and provides tools and information to help you stay in control. As a UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) licensed operator, Spinmama takes part in the GAMSTOP national self-exclusion scheme and links to independent UK support. This page summarises the key principles and safeguards available. Play only with money you can afford to lose, and never treat gambling as a source of income. For related rules, see the Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy.
Minimum age
Participation is restricted to individuals aged 18 or over. Protecting minors is a priority: your age is verified before you can deposit or play, and accounts without valid age confirmation are restricted or closed. Keep your Spinmama login credentials away from anyone under 18, and consider blocking software such as GAMBAN or Net Nanny on shared devices.
Self-control tools
A range of tools is available to help you manage your activity, accessible from your account dashboard.
Deposit, loss and time limits
You can set daily, weekly or monthly deposit and loss limits, together with stake and session-time limits, to keep play within a planned budget. Reality-check reminders can be enabled to alert you at set intervals during a session. This is especially useful for fast-paced games such as crash titles and slots.
Cool-off and self-exclusion
A cool-off period lets you pause your account for anything from 24 hours to six weeks. Self-exclusion is available for longer periods, from six months to five years. During these periods, access to gambling is blocked and marketing is stopped. As a UKGC operator, Spinmama is also connected to GAMSTOP, which lets you self-exclude from all licensed UK gambling sites in one step — use these tools early.
How to self-exclude
- Open the Responsible Gambling section in your account settings.
- Choose the cool-off or self-exclusion period that suits you, or register with GAMSTOP to cover all UK sites.
- Confirm the request; access is blocked as soon as it is applied.
- For extra protection, install gambling-blocking software such as GAMBAN on your devices.
Warning signs
A gambling problem can show through several signs. Consider taking a break or seeking support if you notice any of the following.
- Betting more than you can afford to lose
- Chasing losses with bigger bets
- Neglecting work, study or relationships
- Gambling to escape stress or negative feelings
- Losing track of the time or money spent
