How do I turn off casino app notifications? The quickest and most reliable way is your phone's own settings: find the casino app in the notification settings on your iPhone or Android phone and switch its notifications off. Then change your marketing choices inside the casino account, because emails, texts and calls are controlled separately from push alerts.
Your phone's notification switch stops every push alert from that app straight away.
Marketing emails, texts and calls are separate: change them in your casino account's marketing preferences.
UK rules make operators offer channel choices for phone, email and SMS, but not a separate push option.
Deleting the app stops push alerts but doesn't close your account or stop emails.
If alerts pull you back into gambling, a time-out or GAMSTOP goes further than muting.

Turning off casino app notifications: the two switches
Casino apps can reach you in two different ways, and each has its own off switch. Push notifications are the banners and sounds that appear on your lock screen; your phone controls those. Marketing by email, text and phone call is controlled by the casino, through the preferences in your account.
Turning off one doesn't touch the other. If you only mute push alerts, the promotional emails keep coming, and if you only opt out of marketing, the app may still send alerts. Doing both takes about two minutes. For more on the difference, see push notifications and gambling marketing, and browse the casino app questions hub for related answers.

How to turn off casino app notifications on iPhone
On an iPhone, notification permission is managed per app in the Settings app, so this works for every casino app the same way.
Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
Tap Notifications to see the list of installed apps.
Scroll to the casino app and tap its name.
Switch Allow Notifications off. Alerts, sounds and badges from that app stop immediately.
Repeat for any other gambling apps, including sportsbook apps with a casino tab.
If the app asked for notification permission the first time you opened it and you said no, there's nothing more to do. You can check it any time in the same place.
How to turn off casino app notifications on Android
Android menus vary a little between makers such as Samsung and Google, so look for similar wording if yours differs. The Android phones page covers other settings worth knowing.
Open your phone's Settings.
Go to Apps (sometimes Apps and notifications) and choose the casino app.
Tap Notifications.
Turn off all notifications for the app, or switch off only the categories you don't want if the app lists them separately.
As a shortcut, long-press a notification from the app when it appears and turn notifications off from there.
Turning off casino marketing emails and texts in the app
Since 1 May 2025, online casinos in Great Britain have had to let customers choose which products (betting, casino, bingo) and which channels (phone, email and SMS) they get marketing through. The options must be off unless you tick them, and existing customers were asked to confirm their choices at their first login after the rule started.
Why the phone setting matters more for push alerts
When the Gambling Commission set the marketing choice rules, it decided phone, email and SMS were the required channels. Post was dropped, and a separate push-notification option was judged unnecessary, according to its summary of responses on direct marketing (opens in a new tab).
In practice, that means a casino app doesn't have to give you an in-app push toggle, although some do. Your phone's own switch always works, whatever the app offers. Our explainer on what a push notification is covers how they reach your screen.
Notification settings in Coral, Ladbrokes and PlayOJO apps
None of the store listings for our five partner apps describes notification controls, so we can't say exactly which in-app toggles each one has. The phone-level route above works for all of them.
Combined apps such as Casumo and 10bet may send sport alerts as well as casino ones. Muting at phone level stops both.
Does deleting a casino app stop notifications?
Yes for push alerts, no for everything else. Removing the app stops it sending notifications to that phone, but your account, balance and marketing choices stay exactly as they were. Emails and texts will carry on unless you change your preferences.
A well-timed alert can be enough to start a session you hadn't planned. If you notice that pattern, muting is a good first step, and our page on notifications and gambling urges has more ideas.
If you want a firmer barrier, a time-out stops you using the account for a set period, and GAMSTOP blocks every online casino licensed in Great Britain. Under the Commission's rules, operators must also stop marketing and new bonus offers when they see strong signs of harm.

Frequently asked questions
How do I stop casino app notifications on my iPhone?
Open Settings, tap Notifications, pick the casino app and switch Allow Notifications off. That stops alerts, sounds and badges from that app straight away, whatever the app's own settings say. It doesn't affect marketing emails or texts, which you change in your casino account's marketing preferences. Our iPhone casino apps page covers other useful settings, and how casino apps use your data explains what apps can see.
How do I turn off casino app notifications on Samsung or other Android phones?
Go to Settings, then Apps, choose the casino app and open Notifications to switch them off. Wording varies between makers, so look for something similar if your menu differs. You can also long-press a notification as it arrives and turn the app's alerts off from there. Focus mode in Digital Wellbeing can pause several apps at once. See casino apps on Samsung Galaxy and blocking apps with Digital Wellbeing.
Will turning off notifications stop casino marketing emails?
No, phone notification settings only control push alerts on that device. Marketing emails, texts and calls are governed by the preferences in your casino account. Since 1 May 2025, UK operators must let you choose channels (phone, email, SMS) and products, with everything off unless you opt in. Update those choices in your account settings. Our page on gambling marketing consent rules explains the law, and can casino apps send me offers covers what's allowed.
Do casino apps have to let me turn off push notifications?
Not through a separate in-app toggle. The Gambling Commission requires a marketing choice for phone, email and SMS, but it decided a distinct push-notification option was unnecessary. Your phone, though, always lets you block notifications from any app, so you're never stuck with them. Many apps also ask permission before sending any. The push notifications guide explains how the rules and the phone settings fit together.
Why do I still get notifications after unsubscribing from casino marketing?
Usually because push alerts and marketing preferences are separate switches. Unticking email and SMS in your account doesn't change the permission your phone gave the app to send notifications. Turn the app's notifications off in your phone settings to stop them. If you're getting texts after opting out, follow the steps in how to stop casino marketing texts, which include reporting persistent senders. For one brand's options, see Coral's settings page.
Does deleting a casino app turn off its notifications?
Yes, push alerts stop when the app is removed from your phone, but nothing else changes. Your account stays open, any balance remains, and marketing emails or texts continue unless you change your preferences. If your aim is a complete break, deleting the app alone isn't enough. Consider a time-out or self-exclusion instead. See how to delete a casino app and how to take a break from a casino app.
Can I keep account alerts but stop promotional notifications?
Sometimes, if the app splits its notifications into categories. On Android, an app's notification screen may list separate categories you can switch individually. On iPhone, notification permission is usually all or nothing per app, so check the casino app's own settings for finer choices. If in doubt, mute everything and check payments in the app's transaction history. Our Ladbrokes settings page and transaction history guide can help.
Will self-exclusion stop casino notifications and marketing?
It should stop marketing, and it's a much stronger step than muting. Under UK rules, operators must remove self-excluded customers from marketing within two days, and GAMSTOP extends that block to every online gambling company licensed in Great Britain. Delete the apps and switch off their notifications too, so nothing lingers on your phone. Read GAMSTOP self-exclusion and self-exclusion from casino apps for the steps.
