Safer gambling
Information and support for anyone affected by gambling. Lexarov is an independent directory and does not operate venues.
Lexarov is an independent directory. We do not operate gambling venues, hold a gambling licence, or offer online gambling.
Our role
Lexarov is an informational directory of offline gambling venues. We do not operate gambling premises, take wagers, or provide gaming services. The guidance below is provided to help visitors make informed, safer choices if they choose to visit a listed venue.
Stay in control
- Set a budget before you visit and stick to it
- Never chase losses; gambling is not a way to make money
- Take regular breaks during your visit
- Do not gamble when upset, angry, or under the influence of alcohol
- Keep track of the time and money you spend
- Balance gambling with other leisure activities
Self-exclusion
If you need to take a break from gambling, contact the venue operator directly to ask about self-exclusion at their premises. Staff at licensed venues are trained to assist with exclusion requests.
For online gambling self-exclusion across UK licensed operators, register with GAMSTOP.
