⚠️ Important Warning: Gambling can be addictive. Please play responsibly. We are committed to promoting responsible gambling and ensuring that all players understand the risks involved. Gambling should be fun and entertaining, not a way to make money or escape problems.
All players must be 18 years or older to gamble in the UK. Underage gambling is illegal and strictly prohibited. We verify the age of all players and will close any accounts found to be operated by minors. It is essential that you only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never gamble with money needed for essential expenses such as rent, bills, or food.
Remember that the house always has an edge in casino games. Gambling is not a way to make money or solve financial problems. The odds are designed to favor the casino over time. Set limits on your spending and time, take regular breaks, and never chase your losses. If you find yourself gambling more than you intended or feeling anxious about your gambling, it's time to seek help.
Responsible Gambling Tools
All UK-licensed casinos are required to provide responsible gambling tools to help you stay in control. These tools include deposit limits, which allow you to set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit. Time limits help you control how long you play by setting session time restrictions. Loss limits enable you to set maximum loss amounts to protect your finances. Reality checks provide regular reminders of how long you've been playing, helping you make informed decisions about continuing your session.
Self-exclusion is a powerful tool that allows you to temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling sites. If you feel you need a break from gambling, you can use self-exclusion to block access to your account for a set period. For more comprehensive protection, GamStop offers a free self-exclusion scheme that blocks access to all UK-licensed gambling sites.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
It's important to recognize the warning signs of problem gambling. If you find yourself spending more money or time than intended, chasing losses by gambling more, or lying about your gambling activities, these may be signs of a problem. Other warning signs include neglecting work, family, or responsibilities due to gambling, borrowing money to gamble, or feeling anxious or depressed about your gambling habits.
If you experience any of these warning signs, it's crucial to seek help immediately. Problem gambling can have serious consequences for your finances, relationships, and mental health. The sooner you seek help, the better your chances of regaining control.
