Official Rialto Casino Responsible Gambling Information
Rialto Casino's Approach to Safer Gambling
Rialto Casino is operated by Rank Interactive (Gibraltar) Ltd and holds a UK Gambling Commission licence under account number 57924, with an additional Gibraltar Regulatory Authority licence. As a UKGC-licensed operator, Rialto Casino is bound by the Safer Gambling Code and must offer every player a full suite of responsible gambling tools, signpost free help and enforce strict age and identity checks before any money changes hands.
The brand treats responsible gambling as a non-negotiable part of the experience. Every account includes net Deposit Limits, Reality Check session reminders, Take A Break and Self-Exclusion, and the site participates in GAMSTOP - the UK's national multi-operator self-exclusion register. Free, confidential support is signposted across the site through GamCare (0808 8020 133), GambleAware and the NHS National Gambling Clinics.

Self-Exclusion Options Compared
If you need to step away, Rialto Casino offers three tiers of break - from a short pause on a single account to a full block across every UK-licensed gambling site. Pick the option that matches how long you need to be away and which sites you want to cover.
| Option | Scope | Duration | Where to set up |
|---|---|---|---|
| Take A Break | Rialto Casino account only | 24h / 48h / 7 days / 1 month / 6 weeks | My Account → Responsible Gaming |
| Self-Exclusion (operator) | Rialto Casino and sister Rank Interactive brands | 6 months / 1 year / 5 years | My Account or Live Chat |
| GAMSTOP | All UKGC-licensed online gambling sites | 6 months / 1 year / 5 years | gamstop.co.uk (free registration) |
Important: Self-Exclusion cannot be reversed during the chosen period. Once the term ends, the block does not automatically lift - you must contact customer support and complete an assessment questionnaire to reactivate the account. Any remaining balance is returned to your bank, while bonuses and loyalty points are forfeited.

Responsible Gambling FAQ
How do I set a deposit limit at Rialto Casino?
Log in, open the cashier and go to Deposit Limits, or visit My Account → Responsible Gaming. You can set a daily, weekly or monthly net cap. Tightening a limit is applied immediately; loosening it is subject to a cooling-off period required by UKGC rules.
What is the difference between Take A Break and Self-Exclusion?
Take A Break is a short pause - 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, 1 month or 6 weeks - and your account unlocks automatically at the end. Self-Exclusion is a longer, formal block of 6 months, 1 year or 5 years; the account does not auto-reopen and you must contact support and complete an assessment to reactivate.
What is GAMSTOP and how does it work with Rialto Casino?
GAMSTOP is the UK's free national self-exclusion register. By signing up at gamstop.co.uk you block yourself from every UKGC-licensed online operator - including Rialto Casino - for 6 months, 1 year or 5 years. The block applies in addition to any operator-level Self-Exclusion you already have.
Where can I get free help if gambling is becoming a problem?
The National Gambling Helpline run by GamCare is free and confidential on 0808 8020 133, 24/7. You can also use the live chat at gamcare.org.uk, browse advice and treatment options at begambleaware.org, or speak to your GP about a referral to one of the NHS National Gambling Clinics.
Does Rialto Casino allow players under 18?
No. Gambling is restricted to adults aged 18 and over. Rialto Casino performs electronic age and identity checks at sign-up and may request photo ID before a player can deposit, gamble or withdraw. Underage attempts to register or play are blocked and reported in line with UKGC rules.
How do I protect children from accessing my account?
Never share your password, keep payment cards out of reach and log out fully after every session. On shared devices, consider installing parental control or gambling-blocking software such as Gamban or NetNanny to prevent under-18s from reaching gambling sites.
