Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

We believe that gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you find yourself viewing gambling as an income source or a solution to financial difficulties, it may be time to seek help.

Please gamble responsibly and within your means. Set a budget you can afford to lose and stick to it.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble in the United Kingdom. This is a legal requirement. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and verify all players' ages before allowing access to our partner sites.

If you are under 18, please do not attempt to gamble. If you suspect underage gambling, please report it to the relevant authorities.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know?

• Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
• Neglecting work, school, family, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
• Borrowing money to fund gambling
• Gambling for longer periods than intended
• Feeling anxious or depressed when not gambling
• Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
• Unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop gambling

If you recognise these signs, please reach out for support immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gambling Features

Most licensed casinos offer tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose over a set period
• Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you have been playing and how much you have spent
• Cooling-Off Period: Take a break from gambling for a set period without closing your account
• Self-Exclusion: Permanently or temporarily exclude yourself from a casino or multiple casinos at once

These tools are designed to help you stay in control. Use them proactively to protect yourself and your finances.
