Safer Play & Player Control
Responsible Gambling
Gambling should be treated as paid entertainment rather than a source of income or a way to recover financial losses. This page explains practical ways visitors in Great Britain can manage spending, time, account activity and promotional participation while using online gambling services.
Last updated:
1. Gambling is for Adults Only
Double Bubble Slot contains gambling-related information and is intended only for adults aged 18 or over.
Visitors are responsible for making sure that they meet the legal age and other requirements that apply to gambling where they live.
Account credentials, payment details and devices used to access gambling services should be kept away from children and unauthorised users.
2. Treat Gambling as Entertainment
Casino games and sports betting involve financial risk. Slots, Live Casino, Table Games, Bingo, Keno, Instant Games and other real-money products should not be treated as guaranteed ways to make money.
A gambling session should begin with the understanding that the entire amount set aside for play may be lost.
Money needed for rent, mortgage payments, food, utilities, transport, debt repayments, savings or other essential expenses should not form part of a gambling budget.
3. Set a Budget Before Playing
Decide in advance how much disposable money can comfortably be used for entertainment before making a deposit.
A fixed budget creates a clear stopping point and makes it easier to understand the true cost of a gambling session.
Once the planned amount has been reached, increasing the budget simply to continue playing removes the protection the original limit was intended to provide.
4. Use Account Limits
Gambling accounts may provide tools that allow players to set personal spending or deposit limits.
Limits are most useful when they are based on a realistic daily, weekly or monthly entertainment budget rather than changed according to short-term wins or losses.
A limit should not be increased simply because a promotion, reward, tournament or other offer is available.
5. Lower Limits When Necessary
If gambling expenditure begins to feel uncomfortable, reducing a personal limit can create a stronger boundary around future spending.
Lower limits should be based on what remains genuinely affordable rather than what would be required to continue a particular promotion or session.
Where an account provides responsible gambling controls, review the available settings before continuing to play.
6. Take a Break
A temporary break can be useful when gambling stops feeling planned, relaxed or enjoyable.
Time away from gambling can provide distance from short-term emotional decisions and make it easier to reassess spending and behaviour.
Where an account provides time-out tools, a chosen break should be respected for its full duration.
7. Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is intended for situations where a stronger and longer restriction from gambling is appropriate.
Anyone who feels gambling is causing financial, emotional, relationship or personal harm should consider the self-exclusion options available through their gambling account or other applicable exclusion controls.
Attempting to create another account or bypass an active exclusion undermines the purpose of the restriction and should be avoided.
8. Keep Track of Time
Gambling sessions can feel shorter than they actually are, particularly when games move quickly or many rounds are played consecutively.
Set a stopping time before beginning and take regular breaks away from the screen.
A break can help reassess spending, mood and whether continuing still fits the original plan.
9. Do Not Chase Losses
Previous losses do not make a future win more likely.
Increasing stakes or extending a session in an attempt to recover money can turn a planned entertainment expense into a much larger financial loss.
If recovering money becomes the main reason for continuing to gamble, the session should end.
10. Wins Do Not Remove the Need for Limits
Responsible gambling controls remain useful after winning as well as after losing.
A significant win can create a temptation to increase stakes or extend the session.
Keeping the original spending and time limits in place can help prevent a successful session from turning into uncontrolled play.
11. Promotions Should Not Control Spending
Double Bubble information on this website includes welcome offers, Reward Points, Bubble-O-Meter, cashback, referral rewards and other promotional features.
A promotion should not be treated as a reason to deposit, spend or wager more than originally planned.
Missing a reward or promotional deadline is preferable to exceeding a personal spending limit.
12. Welcome Offers and Safer Play
Welcome offers can include qualifying deposits, wagering requirements, Free Spins, Bingo Tickets or other promotional rewards.
Qualification requirements should never become more important than a personal gambling budget.
If an offer would require more spending than originally intended, do not increase the budget simply to qualify.
13. Reward Points and Loyalty Features
Reward Points and similar loyalty features should be treated as an additional part of normal play rather than a spending target.
Players should not increase gambling activity simply to collect more points, reach another reward level or prevent points from expiring.
Personal spending limits remain more important than the value of any loyalty reward.
14. Bubble-O-Meter and Reward Progress
Bubble-O-Meter is presented as a reward feature linked with qualifying Slots activity.
Progress towards a reward should not become a reason to continue spending after a planned gambling budget has been reached.
The responsible stopping point is the personal spending limit, not the next promotional threshold.
15. Tournaments and Competitive Features
Casino tournaments and leaderboard-style features can make gambling feel more competitive.
Competition can create pressure to increase spending or continue playing for longer simply to improve a ranking.
Tournament position should not be treated as a reason to exceed personal spending or time limits.
16. Understand the Games You Play
Different Double Bubble game categories use different mechanics, including reels, cards, live dealers, crash-style rounds, number draws and virtual events.
Before using real money, understand the rules, stake amount, available features and decisions required by the game.
Previous outcomes do not guarantee or predict what will happen in the next round.
17. Avoid Gambling When Judgement is Impaired
Financial decisions can become less controlled when a person is intoxicated, exhausted, angry, highly stressed or emotionally distressed.
Gambling should be avoided when alcohol, substances, lack of sleep or strong emotions are affecting normal judgement.
Waiting until judgement is clear is safer than making betting decisions during an emotionally charged session.
18. Keep Gambling Separate from Financial Pressure
Gambling should not be used to pay bills, clear debts or generate money required for everyday living.
Avoid borrowing money specifically to gamble or using funds needed for essential expenses.
Reviewing total deposits and withdrawals across a longer period can provide a clearer picture of actual gambling expenditure than focusing on individual wins.
19. Protect Your Gambling Account
Keep casino login credentials private and protect devices used for gambling from unauthorised access.
Passwords, authentication codes and complete financial credentials should not be shared with another person.
Use account recovery and verification processes only through the appropriate secure account environment.
20. Mobile Gambling
Mobile access can make online gambling available from many locations and at almost any time.
The same spending and time limits should apply on a smartphone or tablet as they would on a desktop computer.
Convenient access should not become a reason to gamble more frequently than originally intended.
21. Recognise Warning Signs
Harmful gambling behaviour can develop gradually.
Warning signs can include spending more than planned, repeatedly exceeding limits, borrowing money, hiding gambling activity, losing sleep or feeling unable to stop.
Other signs can include neglecting responsibilities, gambling to change mood, feeling anxious about losses or repeatedly trying to recover money.
Several warning signs appearing together are a strong reason to stop gambling and seek additional support.
22. If Gambling Stops Feeling Enjoyable
Gambling should remain optional entertainment.
If playing begins to feel compulsory, stressful or necessary rather than voluntary, end the session.
Use available account controls, take a break and speak with someone you trust if gambling begins to affect finances, relationships, work or general wellbeing.
23. Serious or Urgent Wellbeing Concerns
Gambling-related financial or emotional problems can sometimes become severe.
If gambling is connected with immediate danger, a serious mental health crisis or thoughts of self-harm, stop gambling and seek urgent assistance through appropriate local emergency or professional services.
Gambling should not be used as an attempt to escape or solve a crisis.
24. A Quick Check Before Playing
Before starting a real-money gambling session, consider the following:
- Is the money genuinely disposable?
- Is there a clear spending limit?
- Is there a clear stopping time?
- Would losing the full planned amount leave essential finances unaffected?
- Am I playing for entertainment rather than to recover losses?
If the answer to any of these questions is no, postponing the session can be the safer option.
