Practical support
A pause plan can start with one practical change
You do not have to complete another session before deciding to step away.
Choose the next action
A pause plan is a short record of what you want to do next: close a casino session, remove promotional messages, speak to somebody you trust or look for support. It does not need to include an amount you intend to gamble. Choosing not to play is a complete option.
Reduce easy routes back
Consider which routes make it easy to return: saved shortcuts, marketing notifications or a payment method. Our checklist is a private worksheet in this page; ticking it does not change your casino account, activate self-exclusion or contact any service. You must use the relevant provider’s official controls to take those actions.
Use specialist support
GamCare provides information and support for people affected by gambling in Great Britain. If casino play is affecting your wellbeing or finances, you can explore that support without trying to solve everything alone. This page offers a practical starting point and does not assess an individual’s level of risk.
