Responsible Gaming

Age Restrictions: 18+ Only

Underage gambling is an offence. In Great Britain and across our platform, participation in any form of gambling is strictly restricted to individuals aged 18 and older (or the legal age of majority in your specific jurisdiction). We strongly urge parents and guardians to implement filtering solutions—such as Net Nanny or CyberPatrol—to prevent minors from accessing gambling-related websites and applications.

Recognising the Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Gambling behaviours can shift over time. Being honest with yourself about your habits is vital. You may be experiencing gambling-related harm if you find yourself:

• Chasing losses: Continuing to gamble or increasing stake sizes to recover money already lost.
• Spending beyond your means: Gambling with money intended for essential bills, rent, groceries, or savings.
• Secrecy and dishonesty: Lying to family, partners, or friends about the time or money spent gambling.
• Escapism: Turning to gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, boredom, or loneliness.
• Neglecting responsibilities: Letting work, education, personal relationships, or health suffer due to gambling.
• Failed attempts to stop: Feeling unable to control, reduce, or halt your gambling activity despite wanting to.
• Borrowing funds: Taking out loans, selling possessions, or borrowing from friends to fund your gambling.

Self-Help and Player Protection Tools

Responsible operators provide integrated player safety features. Because non-UK licensed sites may operate under different regulatory frameworks, you must take proactive steps to safeguard your play:

• Deposit and Loss Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on how much real money you can deposit or lose.
• Wager Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you can stake on a single bet or over a designated period.
• Reality Checks: Configure pop-up notifications to remind you how long you have been actively playing.
• Time-Outs (Cooling-Off Periods): Temporarily suspend your account access for periods ranging from 24 hours to several weeks.
• Self-Exclusion: Request an operator-level exclusion to permanently or indefinitely block access to your account. If you play across multiple non-UK platforms, consider device-level blocking software such as Gamban or BetFilter to restrict access comprehensively.
