Responsible Gaming
Introduction
Gambling should always be a form of entertainment, never a way to earn money or solve financial difficulties. While most people gamble responsibly, for some it can become a problem. Please read the following information to help you stay in control.
Age Verification
In Great Britain, it is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to gamble. We require all users to verify their age and identity before they can access any gambling services. If you are under 18, or under the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, you must not use this website or any linked gambling services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. You may have a gambling problem if you recognise any of the following signs:
- Chasing losses – gambling more to try to win back money you have lost.
- Hiding your gambling – lying to family or friends about how much you gamble or hiding evidence of it.
- Spending more time or money on gambling than you can afford.
- Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities because of gambling.
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble.
- Feeling anxious, guilty, or depressed about your gambling.
- Being unable to stop or cut down, despite wanting to.
- Gambling to escape from problems or negative feelings.
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable bookmakers and online casinos offer tools to help you manage your gambling. These may include:
- Deposit limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month.
- Loss limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose over a given period.
- Reality checks: Receive pop-up reminders showing how long you have been playing and your net spend.
- Self-exclusion: Block yourself from accessing gambling services for a set period (e.g., 6 months, 1 year, or permanently).
We encourage you to use these tools proactively. If you feel your gambling is becoming difficult to control, consider setting limits or taking a break.
