Responsible Gaming

Gambling should always be a form of entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial problems. If you choose to gamble, please do so safely, within your means, and only with money you can afford to lose. The outcome of any game is never guaranteed, and chasing losses can lead to serious harm.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older (or the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction) to gamble. In Great Britain, the legal gambling age is 18. We strongly encourage all players to verify their age and identity before engaging in any gambling activity. Underage gambling is illegal and can have long-term negative consequences.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. Recognising the warning signs early is important. You may have a problem if you:

• Chase losses by returning to try to win back money you have lost.
• Hide your gambling from family or friends, or lie about how much time or money you spend gambling.
• Spend more money or time gambling than you intended.
• Feel restless or irritable when trying to cut down or stop gambling.
• Gamble to escape from stress, anxiety, or other problems.
• Borrow money, sell possessions, or neglect bills to fund gambling.
• Neglect work, studies, or relationships because of gambling.
• Feel guilty or ashamed after gambling.

If any of these sound familiar, please seek help — you are not alone, and support is available.

Self-Help Tools

Many gambling platforms offer tools to help you stay in control. You can use:

• Deposit limits — set a maximum amount you can deposit over a day, week, or month.
• Loss limits — cap the amount you can lose within a set period.
• Reality checks — receive reminders of how long you have been playing.
• Time-outs — take a short break from gambling for a period you choose.
• Self-exclusion — block yourself from gambling sites for a longer period (e.g., 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years). In Great Britain, you can self-exclude from all licensed online gambling sites through GamStop.
