Responsible Gaming
Gambling should always be a form of entertainment, never a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to gamble, please do so responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years or older (the legal gambling age in Great Britain) to use this website. We may ask for proof of age and identity to ensure compliance. Underage gambling is illegal and will not be tolerated.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone else, please take action:
- Chasing losses by continuing to gamble to win back money you have lost
- Hiding your gambling from family, friends, or loved ones
- Spending more time or money on gambling than you can afford
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities because of gambling
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund your gambling
- Feeling anxious, guilty, or depressed about your gambling
- Lying about how much you gamble or how much you have lost
- Being unable to stop or cut back on gambling despite wanting to
Self-Help Tools
Licensed gambling operators offer a range of responsible gaming tools. We encourage you to use them to stay in control:
- Deposit limits – set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on how much you can deposit.
- Loss limits – limit how much you can lose over a set period.
- Reality checks – receive on-screen reminders of how long you have been playing.
- Self-exclusion – exclude yourself from gambling sites for a chosen period or permanently.
