Responsible Gaming
Gambling should always be a form of entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial problems. The outcome of games of chance is unpredictable, and you should never wager more than you can afford to lose. If gambling stops being fun and starts causing stress, it may be time to seek help.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years old to gamble in Great Britain, or the legal age required by your local jurisdiction if different. Underage gambling is illegal and strictly prohibited. We encourage players to use age verification tools and keep their accounts secure.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Recognising the signs early can help prevent gambling from becoming harmful. You may be at risk if you:
- Chase losses by continuing to gamble to win back money
- Hide your gambling from family or friends
- Spend more time or money on gambling than you intended
- Neglect work, studies, or relationships because of gambling
- Borrow money or sell possessions to fund gambling
- Feel anxious, guilty, or depressed about your gambling
- Lie about how much you gamble
- Try unsuccessfully to cut down or stop
Self-Help Tools
Many gambling platforms offer practical tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit daily, weekly, or monthly.
- Loss limits: Cap the amount you can lose over a set period.
- Reality checks: Receive pop-up reminders about how long you have been playing.
- Self-exclusion: Block yourself from gambling sites for a set period or permanently (via GamStop in the UK).
