Responsible Gaming

Introduction

Gambling should always be a form of entertainment, never a way to earn money or solve financial difficulties. Please play responsibly, stay within your limits, and never gamble more than you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

In the United Kingdom, you must be 18 years of age or older to gamble. Underage gambling is illegal, and all licensed operators are required to verify your age before allowing you to play.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

You may be experiencing problems with gambling if you recognise any of the following:

• Chasing losses – trying to win back money you have already lost
• Hiding your gambling from family, friends, or colleagues
• Spending more time or money on gambling than you can afford
• Neglecting work, studies, or personal relationships because of gambling
• Borrowing money, using credit, or selling possessions to gamble
• Feeling anxious, guilty, or depressed about your gambling
• Lying about how much you gamble or how often

Self-Help Tools

Most licensed UK betting sites 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 – cap the total amount you are willing to lose over a set period
• Reality checks – on-screen reminders of how long you have been playing
• Time-outs – take a short break from your account (e.g., 24 hours to 6 weeks)
• Self-exclusion – block yourself from gambling for a longer period (e.g., 6 months to 5 years)
