Every account at Slotrave Casino comes with a set of tools that let you control how you play - how much you deposit, how much you can lose, how long you stay in a session, and whether you want to take a break entirely. These are not optional extras. Under UK Gambling Commission rules, all of them are required features that the casino must provide.
The tools work independently of each other. You can set a deposit limit without activating a session limit, or take a cooling-off break without committing to full self-exclusion. Each one is explained below, along with how to set it and what to expect when you do.
Five core tools are available, all confirmed as mandatory requirements for UKGC-licensed operators. You can use any combination of them at any time through your account.
GamStop, the national self-exclusion scheme, is a sixth option that operates separately from these on-site tools. Participation in GamStop is also a confirmed UKGC requirement. It is covered in its own section below because it works differently from the tools inside your account.
All five on-site tools are accessible from your account's responsible gaming section, which may appear under the label "Safer Gambling" depending on the current interface. If you cannot locate it, the Help section of the site will point you to the right place.
The most important rule to understand before setting any financial limit is this: a decrease takes effect immediately, but an increase does not. If you lower your deposit limit from 200 pounds per week to 50 pounds per week, the lower limit applies straight away. If you later want to raise it back, the increase will only take effect after a mandatory cooling-off period. This is a confirmed UKGC rule, not a casino-specific policy.
A deposit limit controls how much you can add to your account in a given period. A loss limit controls how much of your balance you can lose. Both can be set on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Setting both together gives you tighter overall control than either one alone.
To set or review these limits, go to the responsible gaming or safer gambling section of your account. The exact labels may vary slightly in the interface, but the section is accessible from your account menu. Any change that reduces a limit applies the moment you confirm it.
If you try to raise a limit and the change does not appear to apply immediately, that is expected behaviour under UKGC rules - the increase is held until the cooling-off period has passed. You cannot override this delay.
A session time limit ends your active play session automatically once the time you have set has elapsed. When the limit is reached, you are logged out or prompted to stop - the exact behaviour depends on the platform, but the session ends.
Like financial limits, a reduction in your session time limit takes effect immediately. An increase takes effect only after a cooling-off delay. If you set a two-hour session limit today and want to extend it to three hours tomorrow, the extension will not apply until the waiting period has passed.
Session limits are found in the same responsible gaming section of your account as deposit and loss limits. You can set them independently of any financial controls.
A cooling-off period is a temporary pause on your account. During this time, you cannot deposit or place bets, but the account is not permanently closed. It is designed for players who want a defined break without committing to long-term self-exclusion.
The key distinction between a cooling-off period and self-exclusion is reversibility and duration. A cooling-off break is time-limited and ends when the period you selected expires. Self-exclusion is a longer commitment and cannot be reversed during the exclusion window. If you are uncertain which option fits your situation, cooling-off is the less permanent choice.
Available cooling-off durations are set out in your account's responsible gaming section. The exact options are not confirmed here - check the section directly for the current choices. Once a cooling-off period is active, you cannot shorten it or override it by raising limits, since any limit increase during this time is subject to the same delay rule.
Choosing self-exclusion at Slotrave Casino restricts your account from all gambling activity for the duration you select. This is the most significant tool available and is intended for players who want to stop gambling for an extended period.
When self-exclusion is active, you can expect the following:
The available exclusion durations are listed in the responsible gaming section of your account. Exact options are not confirmed here - check the section directly before making your selection, as the choice you make will be binding for that period.
Self-exclusion through your account applies to Slotrave Casino only. It does not automatically register you with GamStop or exclude you from other gambling sites. If you want broader coverage, GamStop is the separate step to take.
GamStop is the UK's national self-exclusion scheme. Registering with GamStop excludes you from all UKGC-licensed gambling operators simultaneously - not just one site. Slotrave Casino's participation in GamStop is a confirmed UKGC requirement, which means the casino is bound to honour GamStop registrations.
You register with GamStop directly at gamstop.co.uk, not through your casino account. The process is separate from any on-site tool. Once registered, the exclusion applies across all participating UK-licensed operators for the duration you choose.
If you have already self-excluded through your account but want broader protection, registering with GamStop is the additional step that extends that coverage. The two tools work in parallel - one does not replace the other.
The rule is consistent across all limit types: any change that makes a limit more restrictive applies immediately; any change that makes a limit less restrictive is subject to a cooling-off delay before it takes effect.
This means if you want to lower a deposit limit, shorten a session limit, or activate a cooling-off period, those changes happen straight away. If you want to raise a deposit limit, extend a session limit, or remove a limit entirely, you will need to wait for the cooling-off period to pass before the new setting applies.
To make any modification, go to the responsible gaming or safer gambling section of your account. The current limits you have set will be displayed there, along with options to adjust them. If a pending increase is not yet active, the section will typically show when it is due to take effect.
All responsible gaming tools are located in your account's responsible gaming section, which may appear under the label "Safer Gambling" depending on the current interface version. Look for it in your account menu after logging in.
If you cannot find the section, the Help or Contact area of the site will direct you to the right place. Slotrave Casino's responsible gaming section is the single location for all limit-setting, cooling-off, and self-exclusion options - you do not need to contact support to set or change a limit, as it is handled directly within your account.
If you have difficulty activating a tool, or if a limit or exclusion does not appear to be working as expected, you can contact our support team directly for assistance.
If you are considering closing your account permanently and want to understand what happens to your funds and account data, the details are covered on the account terms and eligibility page.
Go to the responsible gaming or safer gambling section of your account. Your current deposit limit will be shown there, along with an option to set or adjust it. A reduction takes effect immediately. An increase takes effect only after a mandatory cooling-off period, as required by UKGC rules.
Loss limits are set in the same responsible gaming section of your account as deposit limits. You can choose a daily, weekly, or monthly cap. As with deposit limits, any reduction applies straight away, while an increase is subject to a cooling-off delay before it becomes active.
Session time limits are available in your account's responsible gaming section. Set the duration you want - once that time is reached during a session, play ends automatically. Reducing a session limit applies immediately; extending it requires the cooling-off period to pass first.
A cooling-off period lets you pause your account for a defined time without permanent exclusion. You can activate it from the responsible gaming section of your account. The available durations are listed there. Once active, the cooling-off period cannot be shortened or cancelled.
A cooling-off period is a temporary account pause during which you cannot deposit or play. It is less permanent than self-exclusion - your account is not closed, and it becomes accessible again once the period you selected has ended. It is the right option if you want a defined break rather than a long-term exclusion.
Self-exclusion is available in the responsible gaming section of your account. Select the duration that applies to your situation. Once activated, your account is restricted for that full period - you cannot log in to gamble, and the exclusion cannot be reversed before it expires. Your funds remain available for withdrawal during the exclusion.
Self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the period you selected has ended. This is by design - the tool is intended to provide a firm commitment. Once the exclusion period expires, you may be able to request reactivation, but this is subject to the terms in place at that time. Check the responsible gaming section or contact support when the period ends.
Yes. Your funds remain in your account during self-exclusion and are available for withdrawal. The restriction applies to gambling activity - depositing and playing - not to accessing money already in your account. If you have difficulty withdrawing during an exclusion period, contact support for assistance.
Go to the responsible gaming section of your account and submit a request to raise your limit. The increase will not apply immediately - under UKGC rules, a cooling-off period must pass before a higher limit takes effect. The section will show you when the new limit is due to become active.
This is a confirmed requirement under UK Gambling Commission rules. Increases to responsible gaming limits - whether deposit limits, loss limits, or session limits - must be subject to a cooling-off delay. The delay is designed to prevent impulsive decisions to raise limits. Decreases, by contrast, take effect immediately.
Yes. Any change that makes a limit more restrictive - lowering a deposit limit, shortening a session limit, or activating a cooling-off period - takes effect the moment you confirm it. This is a confirmed UKGC rule that applies to all responsible gaming limit types.
GamStop is the UK's national self-exclusion scheme. Registering with GamStop excludes you from all UKGC-licensed gambling operators at once, not just one site. You register directly at gamstop.co.uk - it is a separate process from any tool in your casino account. Slotrave Casino participates in GamStop as a confirmed UKGC requirement.
