Safer play
Cashmo responsible gambling information can help you recognise risks and find support. Gambling can affect your finances and wellbeing; you can ask for help at any time.

Step away from gambling and choose an activity that does not involve staking money.

Keep money for housing, food, bills and other essentials separate from gambling funds.

Whether you need advice, a break or support for someone close to you, help is available.
Risks to know
In the United Kingdom, check the UK Gambling Commission register for current operator status. Check the UKGC register ↗.
Spending boundaries

Cashmo lists deposit limits among its safer gambling tools. Check the account options and current terms, and treat any limit as a boundary rather than a target.
Time away
Decide when to stop before you begin and set a reminder outside the gambling service.
Close the service, switch off gambling notifications and move on to another activity.
Pay attention to sleep, work, relationships and how often you think about gambling.
If you keep extending a session or find it hard to stop, contact a support service.
Self-exclusion
Self-exclusion can help put distance between you and gambling. Check what a restriction covers and how it works rather than assuming it blocks every service.
| Choice | What to check |
|---|---|
| Cashmo account exclusion | Ask Cashmo about its self-exclusion process, duration, account coverage and restrictions on reopening. |
| GAMSTOP | GAMSTOP is a UK self-exclusion scheme for participating online gambling businesses. Check its official coverage and registration information. |
| Device and payment blocks | Ask your device or financial provider which blocking features are available and what they cover. |
For UK-wide self-exclusion information, visit GAMSTOP ↗.
Warning signs
Trying to recover money, raising stakes or playing longer after losing.
Borrowing, unpaid bills or difficulty keeping essential spending protected.
Poor sleep, secrecy, conflict or gambling taking priority over work and relationships.
These signs are a reason to seek help, not a diagnosis. You do not have to manage them alone. GamCare ↗ offers information and support to help you consider what to do next.

More information
Gambling should be entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial problems. Before playing, decide what you can afford to lose and how much time you are willing to spend. Never use money set aside for rent, bills, food or other essentials.
Cashmo lists deposit limits, reality reminders, cooling-off tools, self-exclusion and affordability checks among its safer gambling tools. Check the account options and current terms for availability and settings; do not assume a limit is active until it is confirmed.
Cashmo deposit limits can help you keep spending within a chosen budget. If available in your account, select an affordable amount and consider setting a time boundary too. A limit is a safeguard, not a target.
Keep track of deposits and losses across gambling services, not just one session. Avoid raising a limit after a loss or borrowing to keep playing. If sticking to your plan feels difficult, stop and seek support rather than trying to win money back.
Warning signs can include spending more than planned, hiding gambling from people close to you, chasing losses, or feeling anxious when you cannot play. Money worries, missed responsibilities and repeated attempts to cut down are also reasons to pause and take the situation seriously.
Keep a record of time and money spent, and consider telling someone you trust. Device or payment blocking features may help create a barrier; ask your provider what is available. These steps do not replace specialist support.
If you need a break, check Cashmo’s cooling-off and self-exclusion options or contact support if you cannot find them. The process and duration are not specified here, so ask Cashmo to confirm the current details. Keep a record of your request.
For a wider UK self-exclusion option, consider GAMSTOP and check its coverage. GAMSTOP registration is separate from a restriction placed directly with Cashmo. If you have self-excluded, do not try to get around that decision; ask someone you trust to help you maintain the boundary.
In the United Kingdom, GamCare offers free support through the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133. BeGambleAware can also help you find information and support. If you face an immediate risk to your safety, contact emergency services or a health professional.
