Responsible Gaming

Gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always play within your means and never chase losses.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years or older (or the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction, which is 18 in Great Britain) to gamble. Underage gambling is illegal and prevented through age verification checks.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

• Chasing losses by continuing to gamble to win back money lost.
• Hiding gambling activity from family or friends.
• Gambling with money needed for bills, rent, or essentials.
• Feeling guilty, anxious, or depressed after gambling.
• Neglecting work, studies, or relationships due to gambling.
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble.
• Lying about time or money spent gambling.
• Being unable to stop or cut down despite wanting to.

Self-Help Tools

Use these tools to manage your gambling:

• Deposit limits: set a maximum amount you can deposit over a period.
• Loss limits: cap the amount you can lose in a session or day.
• Reality checks: receive reminders of time spent gambling.
• Self-exclusion: block access to gambling sites for a set period.
