Responsible Gaming

Gambling should always be a form of entertainment, never a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While most people gamble responsibly, for some it can become problematic. Please take a moment to review the information below and always play within your means.

Age Verification

In Great Britain, you must be 18 years of age or older to gamble. It is illegal for anyone under the legal gambling age to participate in any form of gambling. We strongly encourage all visitors to verify their age and comply with local laws where they reside.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you recognise several of the following signs in yourself or someone you care about, it may be time to seek help:

• Chasing losses – trying to win back money you have lost.
• Hiding gambling activity from family or friends.
• Spending more time or money on gambling than you intended.
• Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities due to gambling.
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble.
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut down or stop.
• Lying about how much you gamble or how much you lose.
• Using gambling as a way to escape from stress, anxiety, or depression.

Self-Help Tools

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

• Deposit limits – set a maximum amount you can deposit daily, weekly, or monthly.
• Loss limits – cap the amount you are willing to lose over a set period.
• Reality checks – receive reminders of how long you have been playing.
• Session time limits – restrict the length of your gambling sessions.
• Self-exclusion – block yourself from gambling sites for a chosen period. In the UK, GamStop offers free self-exclusion from all UK-licensed online gambling sites.
• Cooling-off periods – take a short break from gambling, usually between 24 hours and 6 weeks.
