On this page
Mythoswin builds a set of safer gambling tools directly into the account, and this page walks through what each one does, how to turn it on, and where to get free, independent UK support if gambling stops feeling fun. None of this replaces a conversation with a trained adviser — think of it as a starting point, not the Oracle handing down an answer.
The tools inside a Mythoswin account
Mythoswin gives every player direct control over how much, how often and for how long they play, through a small set of settings that take effect without needing to contact support first.
| Tool | What it does | How it applies |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit limits | Cap how much you can add daily, weekly or monthly | Decrease: instant · Increase: after 24-hour cooling-off |
| Loss limits | Cap how much you can lose over a set period | Set in account settings |
| Session reminders | Reality-check pop-ups during play | Configurable interval |
| Time-out | Temporarily blocks your account | 24 hours to 6 weeks |
| Self-exclusion | Longer-term account block | 6 months to 5 years |
| GAMSTOP | National self-exclusion across all UK-licensed sites | Managed via gamstop.co.uk |
Each of these sits in account settings rather than requiring a support ticket, so a limit or a time-out can be put in place in a couple of minutes. For general account help, see the account hub; for anything that feels like it needs a person, support is reachable 24/7.
Lowering a limit is instant
Time-outs and self-exclusion
A time-out locks you out of your Mythoswin account for a fixed short period — anywhere from 24 hours to 6 weeks — and cannot be reversed early once set. It is designed for a short break rather than a permanent step. Self-exclusion goes further: a block of 6 months to 5 years, intended for when a longer pause is needed. Neither tool asks you to justify the decision; you choose the length and Mythoswin applies it.

GAMSTOP (gamstop.co.uk) is the UK’s national self-exclusion scheme. Registering with GAMSTOP blocks new registrations and existing accounts across every UK Gambling Commission-licensed site at once, including Mythoswin — not just a single operator. It is free to use and sits outside any one casino’s own system, which is why many players treat it as a stronger step than a single-site self-exclusion.
Separately, most UK banks offer a gambling transaction block that can be switched on in a banking app, stopping card payments to gambling sites at the bank’s end regardless of what any individual operator allows. Using a bank block alongside Mythoswin’s own tools adds a layer that does not depend on any one casino’s settings.
A short self-assessment
The questions below are a short, private way to reflect on your own play — not a clinical screening tool and not a diagnosis. Answer honestly; nobody else sees your answers unless you choose to share them.
Gambling self-test
Nine questions based on the Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI). Think about the last 12 months. Your answers stay in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere.
If any answer gives you pause, that alone is worth acting on — tightening a limit, taking a time-out, or talking to one of the free services below costs nothing and commits you to nothing further.
Spotting the signs worth acting on
A few patterns are worth noticing in your own play: chasing losses with bigger stakes, gambling with money set aside for something else, losing track of time or money spent, or feeling irritable when you try to cut back. None of these mean something is seriously wrong on their own, but together or repeated, they are a sensible prompt to use a Mythoswin limit or time-out, or to speak to one of the services below.
Free, confidential UK support
These organisations are independent of Mythoswin and this guide, and all support is free and confidential:
- BeGambleAware (begambleaware.org) — information, support and treatment referrals.
- National Gambling Helpline, run by GamCare, 0808 8020 133 — free, 24/7.
- Gordon Moody (gordonmoody.org.uk) — residential and outpatient treatment programmes.
- GAMSTOP (gamstop.co.uk) — national self-exclusion across all UK-licensed operators.
- Gamblers Anonymous UK — peer support meetings across the UK.
None of these services need you to be a Mythoswin customer, and none of them cost anything to contact.
Getting help from Mythoswin directly
If you want to set a limit, a time-out or self-exclusion right now, it is done inside your own Mythoswin account settings rather than through this guide. If anything about the process is unclear, Mythoswin’s 24/7 support live chat can walk you through it, and the FAQ covers a number of related questions in one place.
All gambling carries financial risk, and these tools work best used before a problem develops, not only after. This guide is intended for readers aged 18 and over — if gambling stops being fun, free and confidential support is available right now at BeGambleAware.org.
