Responsible Gaming at WishKing

Welcome to WishKing, where your safety and enjoyment are our top priorities. Gambling should be a fun and entertaining activity, but we recognise that for some, it can become problematic. As a licensed operator under the UK Gambling Commission, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming and providing you with the tools and support you need to stay in control.

Our Responsible Gaming Tools

To help you manage your play responsibly, WishKing offers a comprehensive suite of features accessible via your account dashboard:

  • Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much money you add to your account to keep your spending within your budget.
  • Wager and Loss Limits: Define maximum stakes and total losses for specific periods, helping you avoid chasing losses.
  • Session Time Limits: Choose how long you want to play per session. You will be automatically logged out once the limit is reached.
  • Time-Out / Self-Exclusion: Temporarily suspend your account for 24 hours up to 6 months, allowing you to take a break when needed.
  • Permanent Account Closure: If you decide to stop gambling permanently, you can request to close your account at any time.

All these settings can be adjusted whenever you wish, giving you full control over your gaming habits.

Recognising Problem Gambling

Gambling should always remain a source of enjoyment. However, if you notice any of the following signs, it might be time to seek help:

  • Gambling to recover losses or earn money.
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling.
  • Spending more time or money than intended on gambling.
  • Neglecting work, family or social commitments due to gambling.
  • Experiencing conflicts with loved ones about gambling behaviour.
  • Using money meant for essentials such as rent, bills, or groceries.
  • Constantly thinking about gambling or planning the next bet.

If any of these apply, we encourage you to pause and consider using our support services.

Tips for Responsible Play

  • Set a loss limit before you start playing and stick to it strictly.
  • Treat gambling as a form of entertainment, not a way to make money.
  • Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, including borrowed funds.
  • Take regular breaks and avoid long sessions.
  • Balance gambling with other hobbies and social activities.
  • Avoid gambling when feeling stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
  • Only gamble with disposable income, never with money needed for essentials.

Self-Assessment and Support

If you are unsure about your gambling habits, consider taking our anonymous self-assessment quiz available within your WishKing account. This tool can help you identify potential risks and guide you towards appropriate measures.

Account Closure and Self-Exclusion Process

  • Temporary Time-Out: You can suspend your account access for a minimum of 24 hours and up to 6 months via your account settings.
  • Permanent Self-Exclusion / Account Closure: Contact our Customer Support team at [email protected] or Live Chat to request permanent closure.
  • Withdrawal of Funds: Please ensure you withdraw any remaining balance before closing your account.
