Responsible Gaming

This page covers safer-gambling advice and what this site can and cannot do for someone whose gambling is becoming a problem.

What can't this site do if I want to stop?

Deposit caps, loss caps, reality checks, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion are settings a reader arranges inside an account at the destination. This build has no account, no form and no server-side application, so nothing published here can switch one on, check one or enforce one. Nobody's age is verified on this site, and no gambling takes place on it. Any check of that kind happens at the destination.

Everything you can actually do with money happens after you leave. Each operator link redirects to a third party. From that moment, the destination's rules, checks and account controls apply, not anything written here. If you want a control in place, set it up in your account on the operator's own site.

Who can I turn to for help?

Every page of this site, this one included, carries links to five independent gambling-help organisations:

  • BeGambleAware
  • Gamble Aware
  • Gambling Therapy
  • G GamCare Gambling Support: Starts Here
  • GamCare

These are the only outbound links on the site that are not commercial. Unlike the operator links, they carry no sponsored marking. They are set to nofollow and open in a separate tab on the organisations' own websites. This site receives nothing when you follow one.

How do I keep gambling within limits I can afford?

Decide the amount before you start and treat it as already spent. A figure chosen in advance is made with a clear head. A figure chosen mid-session is made under the pull of the last result. Thinking of the money as gone means a loss costs nothing you were relying on. Never chase a loss: the odds on the next bet do not change because the previous one failed, so chasing only raises the amount at risk. Keep gambling out of borrowed money. Credit turns a bad evening into a debt that lasts long after it.

What habits help keep it as entertainment?

  • Take regular breaks. Stepping away interrupts the fast rhythm of play that makes time and money slip by unnoticed.
  • Involve someone else early. Telling a person you trust once gambling stops being fun gives you an outside view before the problem grows. It is easier than explaining things later.
  • Notice the warning signs. Hiding spending, gambling to recover money, or feeling anxious when you are not playing all mean it is time to stop and reach out.

Is this site aimed at vulnerable readers?

No. Gambling content is for adults only, and the eighteen-and-over restriction is repeated throughout this build, including on the front page.

No advertising or behavioural profiling network is present in these pages. Nothing here is targeted at a reader who has shown risky behaviour. The only visit data collected is used to count page views and clicks on outbound buttons, and it is not shared with advertising networks.

If you are worried about your own gambling or someone else's, use the organisations listed above rather than relying on anything an operator link leads to.
