LeoVegas Responsible Gambling

Gambling should be paid entertainment, not a way to make money or escape a problem. This page brings together the responsible gambling tools available on a LeoVegas UK account, explains how each one works and when to use it, and lists the free, confidential services that help if gambling stops being fun.

These tools work best when they are set before you play, not during a losing session. 18+ only.

Set Limits

LeoVegas UK Guide — Deposit limits: the tool to set on day one

Deposit limits: the tool to set on day one

A deposit limit caps how much you can pay into your account over a day, a week or a month. Lowering a limit normally takes effect straight away; raising it is deliberately delayed, so a decision made in the heat of a session has time to cool.

Set the limit at a figure you would be comfortable losing in full, not one you hope to win back. You will find it in the account's responsible gambling or safer gambling settings, in the app and on the website alike.

  • Daily, weekly or monthly caps on deposits
  • Decreases apply immediately
  • Increases are delayed before they apply

Reality checks, session reminders and loss limits

Reality checks show a pop-up after a set amount of time, reminding you how long you have been playing and what you have spent or won. On UK slots your net position and session time must also be visible during play.

Where offered, loss limits and session time limits work alongside deposit limits. Choose the interval that will actually interrupt you; a reminder every few hours does little in a fast game. Notifications from the LeoVegas app can be switched off entirely in your phone settings.

Taking a break: time-outs

A time-out closes your account for a short, fixed period — typically from a day up to several weeks. You cannot log in to play during that time, and it cannot be reversed early. It is a good option if you want a pause, for example after a big event, without closing the account permanently.

Self-exclusion and GAMSTOP

Self-exclusion closes your account for a longer period, usually six months or more, and the operator must stop sending you marketing. If you feel gambling is becoming a problem, it is a stronger step than a time-out.

GAMSTOP is the free national self-exclusion scheme. Registering at gamstop.co.uk blocks you from every online gambling site licensed in Great Britain for six months, one year or five years — including LeoVegas, all at once. Our login guide explains what you will see if you try to sign in during an exclusion.

  • Self-exclude at LeoVegas from the account settings
  • Register with GAMSTOP to block all UK-licensed online sites
  • Consider blocking software on your phone and computer as an extra layer
  • Ask your bank about gambling transaction blocks on your debit card

Warning signs worth taking seriously

Problems rarely start with a big loss. They usually start with small changes in habit. If several of these sound familiar, it is a good moment to set stronger limits or talk to someone.

  • Chasing losses or depositing again to win back what you lost
  • Spending more money or time than you planned, more often
  • Borrowing, or using money meant for bills, to gamble
  • Hiding gambling from people close to you
  • Feeling anxious, irritable or low when you are not playing

Closing your LeoVegas account

If you simply no longer want an account, you can ask LeoVegas support to close it. Withdraw any balance first and keep a record of the request. If the reason is gambling harm, say so: a closure for that reason should be treated as a self-exclusion rather than an ordinary account closure.

Keeping control also means knowing how money leaves the account, which is covered in our deposits and withdrawals guide, and how bonuses can tie up a balance, covered in our bonus guide.

FAQ

How do I set a deposit limit at LeoVegas?

Open the responsible or safer gambling section of your account settings, in the app or on the website, and choose a daily, weekly or monthly limit. Lower limits apply immediately; increases are delayed.

What is the difference between a time-out and self-exclusion?

A time-out is a short break, usually from a day to several weeks. Self-exclusion is longer, usually six months or more, and is meant for people who feel gambling is becoming a problem. Neither can be reversed early.

Does GAMSTOP block LeoVegas?

Yes. GAMSTOP blocks every online gambling operator licensed in Great Britain, including LeoVegas, for the period you choose.

Can I close my LeoVegas account?

Yes. Contact LeoVegas support and ask for the account to be closed, after withdrawing any balance. If the reason is gambling harm, ask for a self-exclusion instead.
