Safer playUpdated Aug 2026

Responsible gambling tools at Shuffle

We provide practical controls that help players keep gambling within planned limits, including wager limits, loss limits and self-exclusion through Shuffle Wise.

Entertainment, not income

Gambling should stay planned and affordable

Shuffle is provided for entertainment. It should not be used as a way to generate income, recover debt or chase previous losses. Decide what you can afford to spend before you play and use account controls when you want firmer boundaries.

Shuffle Wise

Set wager and loss limits

Both controls can be active together for daily, weekly or monthly periods.

Current limit changes are subject to a one-day cooling-off period before modifications take effect.

Take a break

Self-exclusion can cover casino, sports or both

Current self-exclusion periods include 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 6 months or permanently.

If you self-exclude from both Casino and Sports, you will not be able to log in during the exclusion period. Support can assist with remaining-balance questions. A self-exclusion period cannot be re-enabled early simply because you change your mind.
Recognise the signs

When gambling stops feeling recreational

Warning signs can include spending more time or money than you can afford, chasing losses, hiding gambling from other people, borrowing or selling possessions to fund play, neglecting work or relationships, or feeling anxious and irritable because of gambling.

If these patterns feel familiar, reducing access is more important than finding a new betting strategy. Use limits or self-exclusion and consider support from an independent gambling-harm organisation.

Account tools are there to be used: if you set a budget, reinforce it with a wager or loss limit. If you need a clean break, use self-exclusion rather than relying on willpower during a session.
Using limits well

Choose limits before emotion is involved

Limits are most useful when they reflect a budget decided outside a gambling session.

Use a wager limit for activity

A wager limit controls how much total betting volume you can place during a chosen period. It can be useful when you want a hard ceiling on session activity even if results fluctuate.

Use a loss limit for financial downside

A loss limit focuses on net losses rather than turnover. It can stop additional betting when another wager could push losses beyond the amount you selected.

Use both when appropriate

Because the two controls measure different things, they can operate at the same time. Reaching either one restricts further gameplay until the period resets.

Do not raise a limit to chase

If a limit is blocking the next bet, that is the control working as intended. A cooling-off period on changes helps prevent an immediate emotional override.

Self-exclusion

A stronger boundary when a normal limit is not enough

Self-exclusion is designed for periods when you do not want access to a gambling product at all. It can be applied to casino, sports or both. Choosing both removes normal account login during the exclusion period, while product-specific exclusion blocks betting in the selected area.

If gambling is affecting finances, work, relationships or mental wellbeing, consider excluding across other gambling services too. Removing one site while leaving many alternatives available may not create the break you intended.

Money and expectations

Bonuses, VIP status and winning sessions do not change the underlying risk

Rewards can reduce effective cost in some circumstances, but they do not convert gambling into a reliable source of income. Each game or market still has uncertainty, and a short period of winning does not remove the possibility of later losses. Set the entertainment budget independently of bonuses and treat any reward as part of that same risk-managed budget.
