Responsible Gaming
Gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or escape from difficulties. Always set limits and never gamble more than you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years or older — or the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction — to gamble. In the UK, the legal age for most gambling activities is 18. We encourage you to verify your age and identity before participating in any gambling activity.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
- Chasing losses — trying to win back money you have lost
- Hiding or lying about your gambling habits to family or friends
- Spending more money or time on gambling than you intended
- Neglecting work, studies, relationships, or responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money, selling possessions, or using essential funds to gamble
- Feeling anxious, guilty, or irritable when trying to cut down or stop
- Being unable to stop or control gambling despite negative consequences
Self-Help Tools
Use responsible gambling tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit limits — set a maximum amount you can deposit over a chosen period
- Loss limits — cap the amount you are willing to lose
- Reality checks — receive reminders of how long you have been playing
- Self-exclusion — block access to gambling sites for a set period or permanently
