1Red Limits, Time-Outs and Self-Exclusion
Six self-exclusion periods are available, from 24 hours to permanent closure, alongside simple deposit discipline reminders. New players can still claim up to £10,000 + 225 free spins before setting any protective tool.

At 1Red Casino we offer a set of self-exclusion periods rather than a flexible self-service limit dashboard: 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, 6 months, 1 year, or permanent/indefinite closure. Once any of these is activated, the account cannot make deposits, play games or receive promotions, and no new account can be opened in the meantime. The balance on the account cannot be withdrawn until the exclusion period ends and the account is reactivated.
How reactivation works
Temporary exclusions reactivate automatically once the chosen period has passed, confirmed by email, so a 24-hour or 7-day break ends on its own without further action from us. A permanent or indefinite exclusion can only be lifted in writing, and even then a 7-day cooling-off period applies before the account reopens. We may refuse a reactivation request, or extend the exclusion, if we have reason to believe problem gambling, erratic communication or signs of mental illness are present.
We do not currently describe a separate self-service deposit-limit tool, and any limit guidance we give cannot be applied to deposits made in cryptocurrency. Players who want firmer control over spending should treat self-exclusion as the main lever available on 1red.sbs, alongside the general account and deposit information covered on our deposits page.
Self-exclusion periods and their effects
The table below sets out the exclusion lengths we offer and what happens to an account while each one runs.
| Option | Effect while active |
|---|---|
| 24 hours | No deposits, games or promotions during the period |
| 7 days | Automatic reactivation by email once the period ends |
| 30 days | Account balance locked until reactivation |
| 6 months | No new account may be opened in the meantime |
| 1 year | Automatic reactivation by email once the period ends |
| Permanent / indefinite | Revocable only in writing, plus a 7-day cooling-off period |
In every case the balance stays frozen until the exclusion lifts, so players should settle any pending withdrawal before switching a time-out on, a point also covered on our full overview page.
Staying in control between sessions
Alongside formal exclusion, we publish a short set of practical habits: set a deposit limit, do not chase losses, set a time limit for a session, avoid playing while stressed, depressed or under the influence, take regular breaks, and keep only one account. None of these require activating a tool — they are reminders we ask players to apply themselves before and during play, including sessions in our casino section or on slots.
For players who feel their gambling is becoming difficult to manage, we point to external support organisations: Gambling Therapy, Gamblers Anonymous and BeGambleAware. These are independent of 1Red Casino and exist specifically to help with problem gambling, separate from the account-level tools described above.
If a question comes up about how an exclusion period interacts with an open balance or a pending bonus, our support team is reachable through live chat, the contact form or email, every day of the week, as detailed on our support page. We recommend reading the self-exclusion effects carefully before choosing a period, since a 30-day or longer time-out cannot be reversed in the same way a 24-hour one can.
