Setting Limits

Before you play casino online, always set limits:

💰 Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits that you can afford. Never gamble money needed for essentials.

⏰ Time Limits

Decide how long you'll play before you start. Set alarms and stick to your time limit.

💸 Loss Limits

Set a maximum amount you're prepared to lose. Stop playing when you reach this limit.

🎯 Reality Checks

Use casino tools that remind you how long you've been playing and how much you've spent.

Age Verification

🔞 Strictly 18+ Only

Gambling is illegal for anyone under 18 years old in the UK. We use robust age verification systems to ensure compliance.

Age Verification Process

  • All players must provide valid ID before withdrawing funds
  • Automated systems check against age verification databases

  • We work with operators who prioritise player protection

For Friends and Family

If you're concerned about someone's gambling:

1. Recognise the Signs

Look for changes in behaviour, mood swings, financial problems, or secretiveness about online activities.

2. Start a Conversation

Choose a calm moment to express your concerns without being judgmental. Focus on specific behaviours you've noticed.

3. Offer Support

Let them know you care and are there to help. Encourage them to seek professional support.

4. Get Help for Yourself

Supporting someone with gambling problems can be challenging. Don't forget to look after your own wellbeing.
