Responsible Gaming

Gambling should always be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial difficulties. Please play responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification

In Great Britain, you must be 18 years or older to gamble. Licensed operators are required to verify your age and identity before you can deposit or play. It is illegal for anyone under 18 to gamble.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

You may be experiencing gambling-related harm if you:

• Chase losses by continuing to gamble to win back money you have lost.
• Hide your gambling from family, friends, or colleagues.
• Spend more time or money on gambling than you can afford.
• Borrow money, sell possessions, or use money intended for essentials to gamble.
• Feel anxious, guilty, or depressed after gambling.
• Neglect work, studies, or relationships because of gambling.
• Find it difficult to stop or control your gambling, even when you want to.

Self-Help Tools

Most licensed UK bookmakers offer practical tools to help you stay in control:

• Deposit limits – set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month.
• Loss limits – cap the amount you can lose over a set period.
• Reality checks – receive periodic reminders of how long you have been playing.
• Self-exclusion – block yourself from gambling with a specific operator for a chosen period (e.g., 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years).

Additionally, GAMSTOP allows you to self-exclude from all UK-licensed online gambling sites in one step.
