Responsible Gambling at Mythoswin

Gambling should be a paid-for form of entertainment, never a way to make money or solve money problems. Most people who play at Mythoswin do so without harm, but anyone can lose control, and it often happens gradually. This page explains how to spot the warning signs, how to use the safer gambling tools Mythoswin provides, and where to get free, confidential help in the UK. You must be 18 or over to gamble.

Warning signs to look out for

Problem gambling is not about how much you spend in one go. It is about the effect gambling has on your money, your time, your mood and the people around you. Be honest with yourself if any of these sound familiar, whether you play at Mythoswin or anywhere else:

• You spend more money or time gambling than you planned to, or than you can afford.
• You chase losses, depositing again to try to win back what you have lost.
• You borrow money, use savings meant for bills, or sell things to fund gambling.
• You feel anxious, irritable or low when you are not gambling, or when you try to cut down.
• You hide your gambling from family or friends, or feel guilty about it afterwards.
• Gambling is affecting your sleep, work, studies or relationships.
• You gamble to escape stress, boredom or difficult feelings.

One or two of these on their own may not mean you have a problem, but they are a signal to pause, use the Mythoswin tools below, or talk to someone.

Safer gambling tools at Mythoswin

Mythoswin offers a full set of safer gambling tools. Most can be set in your account settings, and live chat (open 24/7) can help if you cannot find an option or want a tool applied for you. You can set limits when you register, and you can change them at any time after you log in to Mythoswin.

Checking your activity

Your account history shows every deposit, withdrawal, bet and bonus. Look at your Mythoswin history regularly, not only when things feel wrong. If you take a bonus, read the rules first on our wagering requirements guide so you understand what you are committing to, and remember that bonus play is still real gambling.

GAMSTOP: national online self-exclusion

GAMSTOP is a free service that lets you exclude yourself from all online gambling businesses licensed in Great Britain in one step. You can choose to exclude for 6 months, 1 year or 5 years. Because Mythoswin holds a UK Gambling Commission licence, registration is blocked if you are self-excluded through GAMSTOP, and existing accounts are restricted for the length of the exclusion.

To register, visit gamstop.co.uk and give your name, date of birth, email, postcode and any other addresses you have used. The exclusion usually takes effect within 24 hours. It cannot be cancelled before the minimum period ends, and when it ends it stays in place until you actively ask for it to be removed.

Bank gambling blocks

Most UK high-street and app-based banks now let you block gambling transactions on your debit card. The block is usually a simple switch in your banking app and applies to Mythoswin card deposits as well as other gambling sites; with some banks you call or visit a branch. Many banks add a cooling-off delay, often 48 hours or more, before a block can be turned off, which helps on difficult days.

A bank block works well alongside GAMSTOP: GAMSTOP stops you opening or using online accounts, while the bank block stops the money reaching gambling sites. Ask your bank what its gambling block covers, as e-wallets may need separate settings.

Take the self-test

If you are unsure whether gambling is becoming a problem, the short self-assessment below can help you think it through. It is based on the nine questions of the Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI), a widely used screening tool that looks at your gambling over the last 12 months.

Your answers stay in your browser and are never sent to us or anyone else. The result is not a diagnosis; if it raises concerns, or you are worried for any other reason, please contact one of the free services below.

Where to get help in the UK

You do not need to be in crisis to ask for support. All of these services are free and confidential:

If you are in debt because of gambling, tell the helpline adviser; they can point you to free debt advice. If you have a complaint about how Mythoswin handled a safer gambling request, our support guide explains how to raise it.

Support for family and friends

Gambling harm often affects partners, children, parents and friends as much as the person who gambles. You might notice money going missing, unexplained debts, secrecy or changes in mood. If someone else’s gambling is affecting you:

1. Look after yourself first. Protect your own money, for example with separate accounts, and get advice before lending money.
2. Call the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133. It supports affected others, not only gamblers, and you can talk without the person knowing.
3. Read BeGambleAware’s guidance for family and friends, which covers how to start a conversation without blame.
4. Encourage the person to use tools such as GAMSTOP and bank blocks, but remember that the decision to change is theirs.
