What Is Responsible Gaming and Why It Matters
Responsible gaming means keeping your betting and gaming activity within your financial means, your time, and your personal limits. It means enjoying gaming as a form of entertainment — not as a source of income or a way to solve problems.
At 11 uk, we want the best for every player. We want you to play safely, win, and have fun, but never let it negatively affect your life. Responsible gaming isn't just a policy - it's our promise that we'll always be here to protect you.
For most people, online gaming is a fun and safe form of entertainment. However, for some individuals it can become a problem. That's why 11 uk provides a range of tools, limits, and educational resources to help you stay in control at all times.

11 uk's Responsible Gaming Tools
11 uk provides a range of effective tools to help you stay in control of your gaming. These can be activated at any time from your account settings.
Deposit Limit
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. This helps you stay within your budget and prevents overspending.
Betting Limits
Set a limit on how much you can bet within a specific period. This protects you from making large bets on impulse.
Loss Limit
Set the maximum amount you're willing to lose. Once this limit is reached, you won't be able to place any more bets — protecting you from significant losses.
Session Time Limit
Set how long you want to play in a single session. Once the session ends, you'll receive a notification and may be logged out.
Reality Check
Receive reminders about your gaming time and spending at regular intervals. This helps raise awareness and keeps you in control.
Self-Exclusion
Exclude yourself from 11 uk for a set period or permanently. During this time, you will not be able to log in or place bets.
How to Set Up: Log in to your account > Go to My Account > Responsible Gaming section > Set your preferred limits. Limits take effect immediately and while you can reduce them, there's a 24-72 hour cooling period to increase them.
Self-Exclusion - When You Need a Break
Self-exclusion is a powerful tool that keeps you away from 11 uk temporarily or permanently. It's for those who feel they're losing control or need a long break.
Self-Exclusion Duration
- 7 days - For a short break
- 1 Month – Short Break
- 3 months - Long break
- 6 Months – Extended Break
- 1 Year – Long-Term Break
- Permanent – Full Closure
During Self-Exclusion
Your account will be fully disabled and you will not be able to log in. You will not receive any promotional emails or SMS. The exclusion cannot be lifted before the period expires. Once the period ends, your account will not be automatically reactivated — you will need to contact Customer Support.
How to Apply
To request self-exclusion, contact our Customer Support team via live chat or email. We will process your request within 24 hours. We respect your decision and will assist you without any questions.
