Responsible Gaming
Gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money. Never treat gambling as a solution to financial problems or a reliable source of income. Set a budget you can afford to lose and stick to it. Keep gambling fun and know when to stop.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble in Great Britain. If you are under the legal age for your jurisdiction, do not use this site. We may ask for proof of age and identity before you can access any gambling services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following behaviours in yourself or someone close to you, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by continuing to gamble after losing money
- Hiding gambling activities from friends or family
- Lying about how much time or money you spend gambling
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, study, or relationships because of gambling
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut down or stop
- Gambling to escape from stress, anxiety, or other problems
- Needing to gamble with larger amounts of money to feel the same excitement
Self-Help Tools
Most licensed gambling operators offer practical tools to help you stay in control. You can typically set these in your account settings:
- Deposit limits – cap how much you can add to your account per day, week, or month.
- Loss limits – restrict how much you can lose within a given period.
- Reality checks – receive on-screen reminders of how long you have been playing.
- Self-exclusion – block yourself from gambling for a set period, such as 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years.
These tools are free to use and can be adjusted at any time. Setting limits before you start playing is often the most effective approach.
