Responsible Gambling: Play Mindfully, Enjoy Safely
Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling
Online gambling should be a source of entertainment, excitement, and fun. However, it is essential to recognise that for some, gambling can become a serious problem. Our commitment is to promote responsible gambling practices, protect players, and encourage conscious choices. We want to ensure that all users enjoy the online casino experience in a safe, informed, and balanced way.

How to Recognise Problem Gambling
Gambling should be a recreational activity, not a way to make money or solve financial problems. Be alert to warning signs that may indicate risky behaviour:
- Gambling to recover losses (“chasing losses”).
- Spending more time or money than planned.
- Neglecting family, work, or social responsibilities due to gambling.
- Feeling irritable, anxious, or frustrated when not gambling.
- Hiding or lying about gambling habits to family and friends.
- Borrowing money to gamble.
Tips for Responsible Gambling
- Set a gambling budget and never exceed it.
- Establish time limits and stick to them.
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, never with funds needed for essential expenses.
- Do not gamble under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or when feeling emotionally distressed.
- Take regular breaks and maintain other leisure activities.
- Check your betting history and use the control tools provided by the casino.
Player Protection Tools and Support
UK-licensed online casinos provide several tools to help players stay in control:
-
Deposit Limits:
Set the maximum amount you can deposit daily, weekly, or monthly.
-
Loss and Bet Limits:
Control how much you can lose or bet within a given period.
-
Self-Exclusion:
Request temporary or permanent exclusion from your account, preventing access to the casino for the chosen period.
-
Time-Outs:
Take automatic breaks to avoid prolonged sessions.
-
Self-Assessment:
Take self-assessment tests to identify possible signs of problem gambling.

- Keep your login credentials secure and never share them.
- Talk openly with your children about the risks of online gambling.
- Supervise minors’ use of the internet.
