Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

We want you to enjoy betting apps and online gambling as a form of entertainment. However, it's crucial to understand that gambling should never be viewed as a way to make money or solve financial problems. Always gamble with money you can afford to lose, and set strict limits on how much you spend.

If at any point you feel gambling is becoming a concern, please seek support immediately.

Age Verification

All users must be 18 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to use betting apps and gambling services in the UK. If you are under 18, please do not use these services. Gambling is not suitable for young people and can cause serious harm.

Licensed operators are required to verify your age before allowing you to gamble. Always use accurate information when registering.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do you recognise any of these warning signs? If so, you may have a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
• Hiding gambling activity: Keeping your gambling secret from family or friends
• Gambling with money for essentials: Using money needed for bills, food, or rent to gamble
• Inability to stop: Finding it difficult to control how much time or money you spend gambling
• Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gambling
• Borrowing to gamble: Taking out loans or using credit to fund gambling
• Mood changes: Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble
• Tolerance: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to get the same excitement
• Lying about gambling: Being dishonest with family about how much you gamble
• Using gambling to escape problems: Gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, or sadness

If you recognise several of these signs, it's time to reach out for help.

Self-Help Tools & Safer Gambling Features

Most reputable betting apps and gambling operators offer tools to help you stay in control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a day, week, or month
• Loss Limits: Restrict the total amount you're willing to lose over a set period
• Time Limits: Set reminders or automatic logout timers to limit your session length
• Reality Checks: Request pop-up notifications reminding you how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from betting platforms
• Account Closure: Close your account if you need a complete break

Use these tools proactively to maintain control and ensure gambling remains enjoyable.
