Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
We're committed to promoting responsible gambling practices. Betting should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the cinema or watching a sport. It should never be considered as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems.
Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and always set strict limits on how much time and money you spend gambling.
Age Verification
In the United Kingdom, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in any form of gambling, including online betting.
It is your responsibility to ensure you meet the legal age requirement before using any betting site. We take age verification seriously and encourage all operators to implement robust age-checking procedures.
If you are under 18, you must not gamble.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following warning signs in your own behaviour, please seek help immediately:
- Constantly thinking about gambling or past gambling experiences
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Repeatedly attempting to cut back or stop gambling without success
- Becoming restless or irritable when trying to reduce or stop gambling
- Gambling to escape problems, anxiety, or negative emotions
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying to family and friends about the extent of your gambling
- Jeopardising relationships, education, or career opportunities due to gambling
- Relying on others to provide money to cover gambling debts
- Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling
If you notice any of these signs, it's important to take action immediately.
