Responsible Gaming

Gambling should always be viewed as a form of entertainment, never as a way to earn money or solve financial difficulties. While most people gamble responsibly, it is important to recognise that gambling can become problematic for some individuals. Please take a moment to read the information below.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older (or meet the local legal age requirement for gambling in Great Britain) to participate in any gambling activity. Underage gambling is illegal and strictly prohibited. We encourage parents and guardians to use filtering software to prevent access to gambling websites by minors.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:

• Chasing losses – gambling more to try to win back money you have lost
• Hiding gambling activity from friends or family
• Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose (e.g., rent, bills, food money)
• Lying about how much time or money you spend gambling
• Neglecting work, studies, or relationships because of gambling
• Feeling anxious, guilty, or irritable when trying to cut down or stop
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
• Thinking about gambling constantly or planning the next session

Self-Help Tools

Most reputable gambling operators, including many crypto casinos, offer practical tools to help you stay in control:

• Deposit limits – set a maximum amount you can deposit over a day, week, or month
• Loss limits – cap the amount you are willing to lose within a set period
• Reality checks – receive on-screen reminders of how long you have been playing
• Self-exclusion – block yourself from accessing your account for a set period (e.g., 6 months, 1 year, or permanently)
