Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Financial Solution
Online betting should be enjoyed as entertainment only. It is not a reliable way to make money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
If you find yourself betting more than you can afford to lose, or if gambling is affecting your life negatively, help is available.
Age Verification
In the United Kingdom, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in online betting and gambling activities.
It is illegal for operators to offer betting services to anyone under the legal age. If you are under 18, please do not use betting websites.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, problem gambling may be developing:
- Spending more money or time on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by betting more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the extent of betting
- Neglecting family, work, school, or other important responsibilities
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Failed attempts to reduce or control gambling
- Experiencing relationship or financial problems due to gambling
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gambling Features
Most reputable betting operators offer the following tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Restrict the amount of money you can lose over a set timeframe
- Reality Checks: Receive timely reminders about how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
- Time-Out/Cooling-Off Period: Temporarily suspend your account for a set period without accessing betting services
