Responsible Gaming
Gambling should always be a form of entertainment — never a way to earn money or solve financial difficulties. If the fun stops, stop playing. Always set limits and play responsibly.
Age Verification
In Great Britain, you must be 18 years or older to gamble. Underage gambling is illegal. We encourage all users to verify their age and identity when required by licensed operators.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. You may need support if you recognise any of the following signs:
- Chasing losses or gambling to win back money you have lost
- Hiding your gambling from family or friends
- Spending more time or money on gambling than you intended
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, studies, or relationships because of gambling
- Feeling anxious, guilty, or irritable when not gambling
- Lying about how often or how much you gamble
- Being unable to stop or control your gambling
Self-Help Tools
Most licensed UK gambling operators provide practical tools to help you stay in control. These include:
- Deposit limits — set a maximum amount you can deposit over a set period
- Loss limits — limit how much you can lose in a session, day, week, or month
- Reality checks — receive reminders of how long you have been playing
- Time-outs — take a short break from your account for 24 hours to several weeks
- Self-exclusion — block access to your account for a longer period, typically 6 months to 5 years
