Responsible Gaming
Introduction
Gambling should always be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial difficulties. Please play responsibly and within your means. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years or older to gamble in Great Britain. It is illegal for anyone under 18 to gamble. We strongly encourage all users to verify their age and comply with the law.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone close to you, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing losses – trying to win back money you have lost
- Hiding your gambling from family or friends
- Spending more time or money on gambling than you can afford
- Neglecting work, studies, or relationships because of gambling
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
- Feeling anxious, guilty, or depressed about your gambling
Self-Help Tools
Many licensed operators provide practical tools to help you stay in control of your gambling:
- Deposit limits – cap how much you can deposit daily, weekly, or monthly
- Loss limits – set a maximum amount you are willing to lose
- Reality checks – receive reminders of how long you have been playing
- Self-exclusion – block yourself from gambling sites for a set period of time
Use these tools proactively to maintain a healthy balance and prevent gambling from becoming harmful.
