Further help

If you believe you might need additional help with your gambling problem, we would like to recommend the following organisations for more information and assistance.

Filtering software

If you would like to completely halt your gambling while taking a break, we recommend installing filtering software for your browser on your computer. Such programs prevent you and other users of your computer from entering a gambling operator website and other online content not suitable for minors. We recommend taking a look at:

 NetNanny

 CyberPatrol

 Qustodio

 Surfie

 Gamban 

Blocking gambling transactions

Some banks offer an option to block transactions made to gambling operators from a card or banking account. This is a safe option to limit your spending on playing. Check if your bank allows this option!
