A time-out is a short break from gambling with one operator, chosen by you from the options they offer. During it you cannot log in to gamble, and the break cannot be reversed early.
It is designed for when you want a pause without the longer commitment of self-exclusion. Once the time-out ends, the account reopens. GB-licensed operators must offer a way to take a break, usually in the account's safer gambling settings.
A time-out applies only to the operator where you set it. If you want a break from every GB-licensed online gambling site at once, GAMSTOP does that. See our safer gambling page.
