Responsible Gambling

Last updated: 1 May 2026

Our Commitment

StellarCasino.net is committed to promoting responsible gambling. We only recommend casinos that are licensed by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) and that provide robust player protection tools as required under the Gambling Act 2005 and the UKGC Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice (LCCP).

Gambling should be enjoyable entertainment, not a way to make money. If gambling stops being fun, it is time to stop.

Tools Available at UKGC-Licensed Casinos

All casinos we list are required by the UKGC to offer the following responsible gambling tools:

  • Deposit Limits – Set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on how much you can deposit. Changes to increase limits are subject to a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period.
  • Loss Limits – Restrict the total amount you can lose within a set period.
  • Session Time Limits – Set alerts or automatic logouts after a chosen duration of play.
  • Reality Checks – On-screen notifications showing how long you have been playing and your net position.
  • Self-Exclusion – Temporarily or permanently block yourself from a casino. UKGC licensees must honour self-exclusion for a minimum of 6 months.
  • Account Closure – Close your account at any time, with any remaining balance returned to you.

GAMSTOP – National Self-Exclusion

GAMSTOP is the UK’s free national online self-exclusion scheme. When you register with GAMSTOP, all UKGC-licensed online gambling companies are required to prevent you from accessing their services for a chosen period of 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years.

Register at gamstop.co.uk – it takes around 10 minutes and covers all UKGC-licensed online operators.

Signs of Problem Gambling

You may have a gambling problem if you:

  • Spend more money or time gambling than you can afford
  • Chase losses by increasing bets or playing longer
  • Borrow money or sell possessions to fund gambling
  • Neglect work, education, family, or personal care because of gambling
  • Feel anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to stop or reduce gambling
  • Lie to others about how much time or money you spend gambling
  • Gamble to escape stress, anxiety, or depression

StellarCasino.net is an 18+ website. We do not knowingly direct content to or collect information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are concerned about a young person gambling, contact GamCare for advice.

Our Editorial Standards

We do not encourage excessive or irresponsible gambling. Our reviews focus on factual information – bonus terms, wagering requirements, withdrawal speeds, and licensing status. We clearly display T&Cs for every offer and highlight potential downsides alongside benefits.
