Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

Betting and gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. It is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.

Only spend what you can afford to lose, and remember that the house always has an edge. If you find yourself gambling more than intended or experiencing distress related to gambling, please seek help immediately.

Age Verification

Gambling is only available to individuals aged 18 years or older in Great Britain. If you are under 18, you must not participate in any gambling activities. It is a legal requirement.

If you are unsure about your eligibility or the legality of gambling in your jurisdiction, please consult local regulations or contact the appropriate authority.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Please be aware of these warning signs that may indicate a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount spent
• Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
• Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
• Neglecting family, work, or social responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money or incurring debt to finance gambling
• Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop gambling
• Feeling anxious or depressed without gambling
• Gambling for longer periods or with larger amounts than intended
• Using gambling as an escape from problems or negative emotions

If you recognise any of these signs in your own behaviour, please seek support immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Most reputable gambling operators provide tools to help you stay in control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe
• Loss Limits: Set a limit on the maximum amount you can lose
• Reality Checks: Receive reminders during gaming sessions about how long you have been playing
• Time-Out: Take a temporary break from gambling for a period you choose
