At Fat Pirate Casino, gambling is meant to be an enjoyable pastime. We take our responsibilities seriously and have put in place a range of tools and resources to help our players stay in control of their activity on the site.
This page explains how our responsible gambling framework works, what tools are available to you, how to recognise when gambling might be becoming a problem, and where to find free, confidential support.
Our Commitment
Fat Pirate Casino holds licence number 5536/JAZ2023-114 and operates in line with applicable regulations for the protection of players. We are committed to maintaining a safe gambling environment and to preventing gambling-related harm. This means we take active steps to protect vulnerable adults, prevent underage gambling, and provide our customers with the means to manage their own play.
Gambling should always be a choice made freely, with money you can afford to lose, and for entertainment rather than as a way to make money or escape problems. If at any point it stops feeling that way, we encourage you to use the tools below or reach out to us directly.
Tools to Help You Stay in Control
We provide a number of account management tools that you can activate at any time. These are available through your account settings or by contacting our support team at [email protected] or by calling +44 20 7946 0821.
Deposit Limits You can set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much money you deposit into your Fat Pirate Casino account. Once a limit is in place, it takes effect immediately. If you wish to lower your limit, the change is applied straight away. Requests to increase a limit are subject to a cooling-off period before taking effect.
Loss Limits You may set a maximum amount you are willing to lose within a given time period. If you reach that threshold, you will be unable to place further wagers until the period resets.
Wager Limits This tool lets you cap the total amount staked within a set timeframe, independently of wins or losses.
Session Time Limits You can restrict how long each individual gambling session lasts. Once your session limit is reached, you will be logged out automatically.
Reality Checks You can set pop-up reminders at regular intervals during play. These reminders display how long you have been playing and give you the option to continue or stop your session.
Cooling-Off Period If you need a short break from gambling, you can apply a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, one week, or one month. During this time your account will be restricted from gambling activity. This can be requested at any time.
Self-Exclusion If you feel you need a longer break, you can self-exclude from Fat Pirate Casino for a period of six months or longer. During self-exclusion, your account will be closed and you will not be able to reopen it until the exclusion period has ended. We will also take steps to remove you from our marketing communications.
If you choose to self-exclude, we strongly recommend also registering with GamStop (see below), which extends your self-exclusion across all UK-licensed gambling operators at once.
GamStop – National Self-Exclusion Scheme
GamStop is the UK’s free national self-exclusion service. Registering with GamStop means you can exclude yourself from all online gambling companies licensed in Great Britain in one simple step.
You can register at www.gamstop.co.uk.
Self-exclusion through GamStop applies across the industry, not just at Fat Pirate Casino. We strongly encourage any player who is concerned about their gambling to use this service alongside our own self-exclusion tools.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Gambling problems can develop gradually and are not always obvious at first. The following signs may indicate that gambling is having a negative effect on your life or the lives of those around you:
- Spending more money on gambling than you originally planned
- Chasing losses by continuing to gamble in an attempt to recover money already lost
- Gambling with money that should be used for bills, rent, food, or other essentials
- Borrowing money or selling possessions in order to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities because of gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or low when you are not gambling
- Lying to friends or family about how much time or money you spend gambling
- Using gambling as a way to cope with stress, loneliness, or difficult emotions
- Repeatedly trying to cut down without success
If any of these apply to you, speaking to a trained adviser can make a real difference. All the organisations listed below offer free and confidential support.

Protecting Children and Young People
No one under the age of 18 is permitted to open an account or gamble at Fat Pirate Casino. We carry out age verification checks during the registration process and may request further documentation at any point to confirm a player’s identity and age.
We strongly recommend that anyone who shares a device with children or teenagers take steps to prevent access to gambling websites. Free parental control software is available from the following providers:
- GamBan – www.gamban.com – blocks gambling websites across all devices
- Net Nanny – www.netnanny.com
- Cybersitter – www.cybersitter.com
- Betfilter – www.betfilter.com
We ask that you keep your login details private and do not allow anyone under 18 to access your account under any circumstances. If you suspect that a minor has gambled on your account, please contact us immediately.
Our Internal Safeguards
Beyond the tools available to players directly, Fat Pirate Casino takes proactive steps to identify customers who may be experiencing difficulties. Our team monitors for patterns of behaviour that may indicate gambling harm, including significant changes in deposit frequency or size, extended sessions, repeated attempts to chase losses, and requests to override responsible gambling limits.
Where we identify a potential concern, a member of our team may make contact to check in with you. This is always done with care and without judgement. We may also apply account restrictions in certain circumstances where we believe a customer may be at risk of harm.
We do not offer credit to players, and we do not permit gambling on borrowed funds.
