Keeping Play Safe at Patrick Spins

Patrick Spins Editorial Team Last updated

Gambling is something you pay for as entertainment. It is not a source of income and never a way to win back money already lost. Only adults aged 18 or over may hold an account with us, one for each person.

Tools You Can Use Today

  • Deposit limits: a ceiling you choose, set from your account.
  • Self-exclusion: a block on play for a period you choose, from your account or through support.

Our live chat team can put either in place for you at any hour, free of charge. A limit works best when it is set early, before a session runs on longer than planned.

About GAMSTOP

We are not licensed by the UK Gambling Commission and not part of GAMSTOP. A GAMSTOP self-exclusion therefore leaves an account with us open. If you have registered with GAMSTOP, please stay away from our site and ask us to exclude you here as well.

Warning Signs

  • Raising stakes to win back what has gone.
  • Dipping into money meant for bills, rent or food.
  • Borrowing or selling belongings to keep playing.
  • Hiding how much time or money gambling takes.
  • Feeling restless or short-tempered on days without a bet.

One of these is reason enough to pause and set a limit. Several together are reason to talk to someone today.
