Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, background or experience. It is not always obvious when gambling shifts from harmless entertainment to something more harmful. Common warning signs include:
- Spending more money on gambling than you can afford to lose
- Chasing losses — continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back what you have lost
- Gambling to escape stress, anxiety or other negative emotions
- Lying to friends or family about the amount you gamble or spend
- Neglecting work, relationships or responsibilities because of gambling
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut back
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
If any of the above sound familiar, please reach out for support. You are not alone, and help is available.

How to Set Responsible Gambling Limits
Setting limits at Yoko Casino is straightforward:
- Log in to your Yoko Casino account
- Navigate to Account Settings and select Responsible Gambling
- Choose the type of limit you wish to set
- Enter your desired limit and confirm
- Limits take effect immediately — increases require a 24-hour cooling-off period
Decreases to limits are applied instantly to ensure your protection is never compromised.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel that you need a longer break from gambling, self-exclusion is the most powerful tool available. Yoko Casino offers self-exclusion periods of 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or permanently.
During a self-exclusion period:
- You will be unable to log in or deposit
- You will be removed from all marketing communications
- Any remaining balance will be returned to you upon request
Yoko Casino also participates in GamStop, the UK’s national online self-exclusion scheme. Registering with GamStop at gamstop.co.uk will exclude you from all UK-licensed gambling sites simultaneously — completely free of charge.

Our Commitment to Under-18 Protection
Yoko Casino strictly prohibits gambling by anyone under the age of 18. The platform employs industry-standard age verification procedures to ensure compliance. Parents and guardians can use filtering software such as Gamban, Net Nanny or Bark to prevent underage access to gambling websites.
If you suspect a minor has accessed your account, contact our support team immediately at support@yoko.org.uk.
Keeping Gambling Fun
The simplest way to keep gambling enjoyable is to treat it as entertainment rather than a source of income. Before every session, set a budget you are comfortable losing, set a time limit, and stick to both. Never gamble when you are stressed, upset or under the influence of alcohol. Take regular breaks and enjoy other hobbies and activities alongside gambling.
Gambling should always be a choice, never a compulsion. At Yoko Casino, we want every player to have a brilliant time — safely and responsibly.
