Strictly for adults aged 18 and over. Set your limits before you take a seat at any table.

Play Responsibly

01Our commitment

InnFinderLondon celebrates the glamour of London's casino hotels, but we never encourage anyone to gamble beyond their means. Every venue we feature is a licensed, adult-only environment, and we include responsible gaming information throughout our guide.

02Golden rules at the table

  • Treat gambling as paid entertainment, like a theatre ticket, not as a way to make money.
  • Set a budget before you arrive and leave your cards in the hotel safe.
  • Decide how long you will play and set an alarm to remind you.
  • Never chase losses; accept them as the cost of the evening.
  • Take regular breaks: step away for a walk, a meal or some fresh air.
  • Avoid playing when you are stressed, upset or tired.
  • Balance gaming with the other pleasures of your stay, from the spa to the city's museums.

03Warning signs

It may be time to pause and seek support if you notice that you are:

  • Spending more money or time than you intended.
  • Borrowing money or selling belongings to gamble.
  • Hiding your gambling from family or friends.
  • Feeling anxious, irritable or low when you are not gambling.
  • Neglecting work, study or relationships because of gambling.

04Tools venues offer

Licensed casinos in Great Britain must provide tools to help you stay in control. Ask staff at the reception or cash desk about:

  • Voluntary spending and time limits.
  • Time-outs and cooling-off periods.
  • Self-exclusion from individual venues or through multi-operator schemes.
  • Leaflets and direct contact details for support services.

05Protecting under-18s

Gambling is illegal for anyone under 18 in the United Kingdom. Licensed venues carry out strict ID checks at entry. If you share a device with young people, consider parental control software to restrict access to gambling-related websites.

06Where to get help

Free, confidential and non-judgemental support is available from these organisations:

  • BeGambleAware: advice, self-assessment tools and access to treatment.
  • GamCare: information, live chat and support for anyone affected by gambling.
  • GAMSTOP: a free national self-exclusion scheme for online gambling in Great Britain.
  • Gambling Therapy: free global online support in many languages.
  • Gambling Commission: the regulator for gambling in Great Britain.
