Responsible Gaming

Gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial difficulties. Never bet more than you can afford to lose, and always keep gambling fun and within your control. If it stops being enjoyable, it’s time to take a break.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years or older to gamble legally in Great Britain. We may request proof of age and identity before allowing you to access gambling services. Underage gambling is illegal and not tolerated.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

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

• Chasing losses by returning to gamble again soon after losing money
• Hiding gambling activity from family or friends
• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
• Neglecting work, study, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
• Lying about how much or how often you gamble
• Feeling guilty, anxious, or depressed after gambling
• Being unable to stop or cut back despite repeated attempts
• Using gambling to escape from stress, anxiety, or other problems

Self-Help Tools

Most reputable gambling sites offer practical tools to help you stay in control. Use these tools proactively, even if you do not think you have a problem:

• Deposit limits – set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month
• Loss limits – cap the amount you can lose within a set period
• Reality checks – receive alerts showing how long you have been playing
• Time-out / cool-down periods – take a short break from gambling for 24 hours to several weeks
• Self-exclusion – block yourself from accessing gambling sites for a set period or permanently
• Session limits – restrict how long each gambling session lasts
