Responsible Gaming

Gambling should always be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial difficulties. While most people gamble responsibly, for some it can become a problem. Please read this page carefully and use the tools and resources available to keep your play safe and enjoyable.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older (or the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction, which in the UK is 18 for most forms of remote betting and gaming) to access any gambling service. Underage gambling is illegal and operators are required to verify your age before you can deposit or play. If you are underage, please leave this website immediately. We encourage parents and guardians to use filtering software to prevent access by minors.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Ask yourself honestly if any of the following apply to you:

• Chasing losses – returning to try to win back money you have lost
• Spending more time or money on gambling than you intended
• Hiding your gambling from family, friends, or employers
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
• Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities due to gambling
• Feeling anxious, guilty, or depressed about your gambling
• Lying about how much you gamble or how much you lose
• Being unable to stop or cut down even when you want to
• Using gambling as a way to escape from stress or other problems
• Experiencing relationship, financial, or legal problems because of gambling

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you care about, please seek help immediately (see support organisations below).

Self-Help Tools

Most reputable gambling sites offer practical tools to help you stay in control. These include:

• Deposit limits – set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month
• Loss limits – cap the amount you can lose over a set period
• Reality checks – receive pop-up reminders showing how long you have been playing
• Time-out or cool-off periods – take a short break from gambling (e.g., 24 hours to 6 weeks)
• Self-exclusion – block yourself from a gambling site for a longer period (usually 6 months to 5 years or permanently)
• Session limits – set a maximum time you can spend gambling in one session
• Account history – review your deposits, withdrawals, and bets to track your activity

Always use these tools proactively. They are available in your account settings on licensed UK gambling sites and on many international operators.
