Responsible Gaming

Gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Never bet more than you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

It is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to gamble in Great Britain. All licensed operators require age verification and may request proof of age and identity. Please ensure you are of legal age in your jurisdiction before gambling.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs, please consider seeking help:

• Chasing losses or trying to win back money you have lost.
• Hiding gambling activity from family or friends.
• Spending more time or money on gambling than you planned.
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble.
• Neglecting work, studies, or relationships because of gambling.
• Feeling anxious, guilty, or irritable when not gambling.
• Lying about how much you gamble.

Self-Help Tools

Most licensed operators offer tools to help you stay in control:

• Deposit limits – cap how much you can deposit daily, weekly, or monthly.
• Loss limits – set a maximum amount you can lose over a set period.
• Reality checks – on-screen reminders of how long you have been playing.
• Time-outs – take a short break from gambling for 24 hours to 6 weeks.
• Self-exclusion – block yourself from gambling sites for a longer period (e.g., via GamStop for UK-licensed sites).
