Responsible gambling at Katanaspin
Most people who open this page already have a reason. Maybe a session ran longer than planned, or a deposit felt bigger than it should have. We'd rather you found this page than kept scrolling past it, so here is exactly what Katanaspin gives you to stay in control, and where to go if you need more than tools.
Why this page exists
Gambling is entertainment with a cost attached, not a way to fix a shortfall or make up for a bad week. 18+ only, and that applies whether you're depositing £2 or £300. The tools below exist because control works better as a setting than as willpower alone.
Signs worth paying attention to
None of these on its own means something is wrong. A pattern of them is worth acting on.
- Chasing a loss with a bigger stake than you'd normally play
- Depositing again right after telling yourself you were done for the night
- Losing track of time or money while playing
- Borrowing, or using money earmarked for bills, to keep a session going
- Hiding the amount or frequency of your play from people close to you
- Feeling irritable or anxious when you're not able to play
A short self-check
Six honest yes/no questions, nothing more:
- Have you lost track of how much time you spend playing?
- Have you deposited more than you intended to in the last month?
- Have you chased a loss with a bigger bet?
- Has anyone close to you commented on how much you play?
- Have you borrowed money to fund a session?
- Do you feel anxious or low when you can't play?
Two or more "yes" answers is a reasonable point to use one of the limits below, or to talk to one of the organisations further down.
Katanaspin's control tools
We set these at account level, and they apply from the moment you turn them on.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| Loss limit | Caps how much you can lose over the period you set |
| Daily deposit limit | Caps deposits over a rolling 24-hour period |
| Weekly deposit limit | Caps deposits over a rolling 168-hour (7-day) period |
| Monthly deposit limit | Caps deposits over a rolling 720-hour (30-day) period |
| Wagering limit | Caps how much you can stake over your chosen period |
| Self-exclusion | Blocks your account for a set period, or permanently |
Lowering a deposit or loss limit takes effect straight away. Raising one doesn't — that gap is deliberate, so a bad moment can't be undone in the next five minutes.
Self-exclusion
You can set this for a fixed period or make it permanent. Once it's active we won't let you reopen the account early, and a permanent exclusion stays permanent — it isn't something either of us can reverse on request.
Practical limits that actually work
- Set the deposit limit before you plan to need it, not mid-session
- Treat the loss limit as the real ceiling, not a target to reach every time
- Use the weekly limit instead of the daily one if daily resets tempt you to top up again the next morning
- Keep the account password away from autofill on a shared device
- Log the time you start playing, not just the money — session length creeps faster than spend
- If a self-check above returned two or more "yes" answers, set self-exclusion rather than a deposit limit
Where to get help in the UK
These organisations are independent of Katanaspin and free to use.
- GamCare runs the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133, free and open 24/7
- BeGambleAware offers free, confidential support and information
- GamStop lets you self-exclude from all UK-facing licensed gambling sites at once, not just one account
- Gordon Moody provides residential and online treatment programmes for more serious gambling problems
Blocking software
Account-level limits only work on the account you set them on. Software installed on the device itself closes that gap: Gamban blocks gambling sites across a device, and BetBlocker does the same free of charge across most platforms.
Protecting minors
This site is restricted to players aged 18+. If a device you use is ever shared with a child or teenager, parental-control software such as Net Nanny or Qustodio can block gambling sites at the device level, separately from anything set on the account itself.
Reaching us about an account control
If you want a limit changed or a self-exclusion set and can't find the setting, write to [email protected] with the account email and what you'd like changed. Gambling should be entertainment, not a chore.
