Responsible Gaming

Gambling should always be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, and never chase losses. If gambling stops being fun, seek help immediately.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years or older to gamble in the UK, or meet the legal age requirement of your local jurisdiction. Underage gambling is illegal and can cause serious harm. We strongly encourage parents and guardians to use parental controls and keep gambling sites out of reach of minors.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

You may be experiencing gambling-related harm if you:

• Chase losses by depositing more money to win back what you lost
• Hide your gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
• Spend more time or money gambling than you can afford
• Feel anxious, guilty, or irritable when not gambling
• Borrow money or sell possessions to fund gambling
• Lie about wins, losses, or the amount of time spent gambling
• Neglect work, studies, or relationships because of gambling
• Try to stop or cut down but cannot

Self-Help Tools

Many reputable gambling sites offer tools to help you stay in control. These may include:

• Deposit limits – set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month
• Loss limits – cap how much you can lose over a set period
• Reality checks – on-screen reminders of how long you have been playing
• Time-out periods – take a break from gambling for 24 hours, a week, or longer
• Self-exclusion – block yourself from a gambling site for a chosen period

Please note: offshore casinos operating under a Curacao licence and not on GamStop may not offer the same level of player protection or self-exclusion tools as UK-licensed operators. Always check the responsible gambling features before you play, and consider using independent blocking software.
