Responsible Gambling 🛡️
Lottomart operates under UK Gambling Commission licence 51833, which mandates comprehensive player protection measures. Understanding these tools and recognising when gambling stops being fun are essential steps toward maintaining control.
What Is Responsible Gambling
Responsible gambling means keeping your play within safe limits—financially, emotionally, and socially. It involves setting boundaries before you start, sticking to them, and recognising that the house always holds an edge over time. Entertainment should never compromise your wellbeing, relationships, or finances.
Warning Signs to Watch For
Early recognition can prevent serious harm. Warning signs include spending more money or time than you intended, chasing losses, borrowing money to gamble, neglecting work or family responsibilities, lying about gambling activity, or feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling. If you recognise any of these patterns, seek help immediately.
Self-Exclusion and GAMSTOP
Because Lottomart holds a UK Gambling Commission licence, players can access GAMSTOP—a free national self-exclusion scheme. Registering with GAMSTOP blocks access to all UKGC-licensed operators for a period you choose: six months, one year, or five years. Visit gamstop.co.uk to enrol. You can also request self-exclusion directly through your Lottomart account settings, which takes effect within 24 hours.
Deposit and Spending Limits
The platform allows you to set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits starting from the account minimum of £10. Once applied, limits take immediate effect and cannot be increased for 24 hours, giving you a cooling-off period. Reality checks remind you how long you have been playing, helping you stay aware of time spent.
