Responsible Gaming

Gambling should always be a form of entertainment, never a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The odds are designed so that the house always has an edge in the long run. Please only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years or older to gamble in the United Kingdom. It is illegal for anyone under 18 to gamble online or in person. We strongly encourage all users to verify their age and identity with the operator. Underage gambling is a serious offence and can lead to long-term harm.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you care about, it may indicate a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses – trying to win back money you have lost
• Hiding gambling activity from family or friends
• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Neglecting work, study, or relationships because of gambling
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
• Feeling anxious, guilty, or irritable when not gambling
• Lying about how much you gamble or how much you have lost
• Being unable to stop or cut down, despite wanting to

Self-Help Tools

Most UK-licensed gambling operators are required to provide responsible gambling tools. These include:

• Deposit limits – cap how much you can deposit over a day, week, or month
• Loss limits – set a maximum amount you are willing to lose
• Reality checks – receive on-screen reminders of how long you have been playing
• Time-outs – take a short break from gambling (e.g., 24 hours to 6 weeks)
• Self-exclusion – block yourself from gambling with a specific operator for a set period

For a broader self-exclusion across all UK online gambling sites, you can use GamStop – see support organisations below.
