Safer Gambling Tools at PlayZilla

Last updated: August 19, 2026

Casino games are entertainment, not a wage. At PlayZilla we build our account settings around that fact, giving UK players clear controls over time and money before a session starts, not after it gets away from them.

PlayZilla is for players aged 18 and over only. We ask for identity and age verification during account setup, and any account that cannot confirm this will be restricted. If you are opening an account for someone under 18, or believe a minor has access to your login, contact our support team immediately so the account can be closed.

Tools You Control From Your Account

Every PlayZilla account includes a set of controls under Account Settings. These are not hidden behind support tickets. You can set them, change them or tighten them at any point, and lowering a limit takes effect straight away.

  • Deposit limits: set a daily, weekly or monthly cap in GBP so your cashier stops accepting further top-ups once you hit it.
  • Loss limits: cap the amount you are willing to lose over a chosen period, independent of how much you deposit.
  • Session reminders: pop-up notices after a set amount of play time, so a quick spin does not turn into three hours without you noticing.
  • Time-outs (cooling-off): step away from PlayZilla for 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days. The account stays intact and reopens automatically once the period ends.
  • Self-exclusion: close your PlayZilla account for 6 months, 1 year or longer. During this period you will not receive marketing emails or promotional offers from us.

GamStop: A Break Across Every UK Site, Not Just Ours

If you want a break that covers more than one operator, the National Gambling Self-Exclusion Scheme, known as GamStop, is worth using alongside our own self-exclusion tool. Registering with GamStop blocks new accounts and restricts existing ones across gambling sites licensed to the UK market, for a period you choose from 6 months up to 5 years. We treat GamStop as a genuine support option, not a last resort. Players tell us it helps because the barrier sits outside any single casino account, so there is no temptation to simply sign up elsewhere. You can register directly at the National Gambling Self-Exclusion Scheme's own site, and it takes a few minutes to set up.

Free, Confidential Support Organisations

GamCare and BeGambleAware are independent UK charities. They are not part of PlayZilla, and they will not share what you tell them with us. Both offer free, confidential support to anyone worried about their own play or someone else's.

Spotting the Early Signs

Problem gambling rarely announces itself in one big moment. It tends to show up as small habits: chasing a loss with a bigger stake, checking your balance before checking your bank account, or telling yourself you will stop after the next spin more often than you'd like. If any of that sounds familiar, that is exactly the point at which a deposit limit or a short time-out makes the biggest difference, before the habit sets in further.

We also suggest treating your entertainment budget the way you would a night out: decide the amount before you start, in GBP, and leave the rest of your account untouched. Any welcome offer or ongoing promotion on PlayZilla, including free spins, carries its own terms and conditions and should never be treated as a way to recover a loss. See our Bonus page for how those offers actually work.

Safer Gambling Tools at PlayZilla

What is the minimum age to play at PlayZilla?

You must be 18 or over to register or play at PlayZilla. We verify age and identity during account setup, and accounts that cannot confirm this are restricted.

How do I set a deposit limit on my PlayZilla account?

Go to Account Settings after logging in and choose a daily, weekly or monthly cap in GBP. Lowering the limit takes effect immediately; raising it involves a short cooling-off period.

What is the difference between a time-out and self-exclusion?

A time-out pauses your PlayZilla account for a fixed period, 24 hours up to 30 days, and reopens automatically. Self-exclusion closes the account for 6 months or longer and stops all marketing contact from us during that time.

Does GamStop block me from every casino, not just PlayZilla?

Yes. The National Gambling Self-Exclusion Scheme (GamStop) restricts new sign-ups and existing accounts across UK-facing gambling sites for a period you set, from 6 months to 5 years. It is separate from PlayZilla's own self-exclusion tool and can be used alongside it.

Who can I talk to if I'm worried about my gambling?

GamCare offers a free, confidential helpline on 0808 8020 133, available 24/7, and live chat at gamcare.org.uk. BeGambleAware at begambleaware.org provides further information and referrals. Neither shares your details with PlayZilla.
