Keeping your theatre-going in proportion

Simple habits and the tools in every account: session reminders, account breaks and where to find free independent help.

Decide the length of the evening first

Choose how long you will play before you open a production. Your account can show a reminder after 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes, or you can switch it off; when it appears, auto-play pauses.

Breaks that genuinely stop play

Your account page offers breaks of 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days. Starting one signs you out everywhere at once, and the account cannot play until the break is over.

When the fun has gone

If play is eating into your time, money, sleep or mood, the free and confidential National Gambling Helpline is open day and night on 0808 8020 133. The interval page lists other independent services across the UK.
