Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
We're committed to promoting responsible gaming. Betting and casino games should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems. The odds are always in favour of the house, and you should only ever gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age to use any betting or casino services in the United Kingdom. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register or place bets. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to win back money you've lost
- Gambling with money intended for bills, rent, or other essential expenses
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about how much time or money you spend gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut down or stop gambling
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Borrowing money or getting into debt to fund gambling
- Neglecting family, work, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Spending significantly more time gambling than intended
If you recognise these signs, help is available and support services are confidential.
Self-Help Tools and Safer Gambling Options
Most reputable betting operators offer built-in tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a specified period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose before your account is suspended
- Time Limits: Set automatic session time limits to prevent excessive gambling
- Reality Checks: Enable reminders during gameplay to check how long you've been playing
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from betting accounts
Use these tools proactively to manage your gambling behaviour.
