Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

We want to remind all our visitors that gambling should only be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Betting sites should only be used for enjoyment with money you can afford to lose. If you find yourself gambling to make money, chase losses, or gamble to escape problems, please seek help immediately.

Age Verification

All users must be 18 years of age or older to use any betting services in the United Kingdom. It is illegal for anyone under 18 to gamble. If you are under 18, please do not use any betting sites. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental controls to prevent underage access.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following warning signs, you may be developing a problem with gambling:

• Frequently thinking about gambling or recent gambling experiences
• Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
• Repeatedly trying to cut back or stop gambling without success
• Chasing losses by continuing to gamble to recover money you've lost
• Lying to family, friends, or others about your gambling activities
• Hiding gambling behaviour or concealing the extent of your gambling
• Gambling as a way to escape problems, anxiety, depression, or stress
• Jeopardising relationships, employment, education, or career opportunities due to gambling
• Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts
• Experiencing mood swings or irritability when attempting to reduce gambling

If you recognise yourself in these signs, support is available.

Self-Help Tools

Most responsible betting sites offer the following tools to help you stay in control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly).
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose over a set time period.
• Betting Limits: Restrict the maximum stake you can place on individual bets.
• Reality Checks: Enable reminders during your gaming session to help you stay aware of time spent and money wagered.
• Session Time Limits: Set a maximum duration for your betting sessions.
• Self-Exclusion: Take a break from gambling by temporarily or permanently excluding yourself from a betting site. You can also use GamStop for multi-operator self-exclusion across all licensed UK operators.

Use these tools proactively to maintain control over your gambling.
