Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to cinema, dining out, or other leisure activities. It should never be considered a way to earn money or solve financial problems.
Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and always set a budget before you play. Remember: the house always has an edge, and there is no guaranteed way to win.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble in the United Kingdom. It is illegal for anyone under 18 to participate in gambling activities. If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not use any casino or betting services.
All reputable operators verify player age and identity before allowing access to gambling services. We support strict age verification to protect young people.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be aware of the following warning signs:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities from family or friends
- Neglecting work, school, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Experiencing anxiety, depression, or mood changes related to gambling
- Feeling unable to control or stop gambling despite wanting to
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or difficult emotions
- Lying about the extent of your gambling activities
- Risking important relationships, jobs, or educational opportunities
If you recognise any of these signs in your own behaviour, help is available.
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Responsible casinos provide tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount of losses you are willing to accept in a given timeframe
- Betting Limits: Restrict the maximum stake you can place on individual bets
- Reality Checks: Receive regular pop-up reminders of how long you have been playing and how much you have spent
- Time-Out: Take a break from gambling for a set period (from hours to weeks)
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from a casino for an extended period (typically 6 months or longer)
Make use of these tools proactively to stay in control of your gambling activities.
