Responsible Gaming
Introduction
Gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble responsibly and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In Great Britain, you must be 18 years of age or older to gamble legally. We encourage all users to verify their age and comply with local legal age requirements.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
- Chasing losses or trying to win back money
- Hiding gambling activity from family or friends
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Neglecting work, studies, relationships or other responsibilities
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
- Feeling anxious, guilty or irritable when trying to cut down
Self-Help Tools
- Deposit limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a chosen period.
- Loss limits: Limit the amount you can lose within a set timeframe.
- Reality checks: Receive reminders about how long you have been playing.
- Self-exclusion: Block yourself from gambling sites for a chosen period.
Most licensed operators in Great Britain offer these tools. Use them to help keep gambling under control.
