Responsible Gaming

Introduction

Gambling should always be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or escape problems. Always play responsibly, set limits, and never gamble more than you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years or older to gamble legally in the UK. We strongly support age verification measures and encourage parents and guardians to prevent underage access to gambling platforms.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses – trying to win back money you have lost
• Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or colleagues
• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
• Neglecting work, studies, or relationships because of gambling
• Feeling anxious, guilty, or depressed about gambling
• Lying about how much or how often you gamble
• Being unable to stop or cut down on gambling

Self-Help Tools

Many gambling operators provide practical tools to help you stay in control:

• Deposit limits – set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month
• Loss limits – limit how much you can lose within a set period
• Reality checks – receive reminders of how long you have been playing
• Self-exclusion – block yourself from gambling for a chosen period (e.g., 6 months, 1 year, 5 years)
• Time-out periods – take a short break from gambling (24 hours to several weeks)
