Responsible Gambling 🛡️
Responsible gambling means keeping betting within time and money you can afford to lose, and stopping when it stops being fun. On Myracing and every other site we review, gambling is for adults aged 18+ only.
One point matters before anything else: Myracing holds no gambling licence valid for the United Kingdom. That means UK licence protections do not apply to it, and UK schemes tied to licensed operators, such as GAMSTOP, cannot be assumed to cover it. Take extra care with your own limits.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
The clearest warning sign is gambling with money you need for rent, bills or food. Other signs are worth taking seriously too:
- Chasing losses by betting more to win money back
- Spending longer or more than you planned
- Borrowing money or selling belongings to gamble
- Hiding your gambling from family or friends
- Feeling anxious, irritable or guilty when you are not betting
- Neglecting work, study or relationships
If two or more of these sound familiar, pause and speak to someone you trust or one of the services below.
Self-Exclusion Tools
Self-exclusion blocks you from gambling for a fixed period. Myracing does not publish details of its own self-exclusion tools in the material we reviewed, so do not rely on them being available.
You can protect yourself independently. Gambling-blocking software such as Gamban can be installed on phones and computers. Your bank may also let you block gambling transactions; several UK banks offer this in their apps. Ask your bank directly.
Deposit Limits and Spending Control
Myracing does not publish a minimum deposit or a description of deposit limit settings, so set your own boundaries before you play.
- Decide a budget you can afford to lose before you start, and treat it as the cost of entertainment
- Never gamble with money meant for essentials
- Set a timer and take regular breaks
- Do not try to win back losses
- Avoid gambling when upset, stressed or after drinking
- Keep track of what you spend each week
The brand's mobile app is available on iOS only, and Android users use the mobile site. On either, use your phone's screen-time settings to cap how long you spend.

- Speak to a debt adviser if money is a worry
