Responsible gaming

Have fun playing online

For most people, playing online games is what it should be: a fun way to spend their free time. However, for a small minority, playing online can be a problem. The vast majority of our online customers will never experience a problem. However, responsible gambling is not limited to those who have a gambling problem or are at increased risk of one. It is the best approach for EVERYONE. On all of our websites, we strive to help our customers have fun by promoting and advertising those gaming operators that promote safe and responsible online gaming. In addition, by providing information and guidance to those who are unable to maintain control of their gambling. The UK licensed websites we recommend help by providing the functionality of:

How do I know if I have a problem?

A good way to assess whether your gambling has stopped being fun and is getting out of control is to ask yourself the following questions: Do you gamble alone for long periods of time, perhaps taking time away from work or other activities to do so? Do you need to increase your bets more and more to get the thrill you seek? Do you suffer mood swings, irritability and agitation because of gambling? Do you think you gamble to escape from other problems or issues in your life? Do you hide your gambling losses from people? Have you tried in the past to reduce the time or money you spend gambling and failed to do so? Have you ever been tempted to commit a dishonest act to finance your gambling? Have you ever gone back to gambling online to recoup your losses? Have you ever hidden your gambling from the important people in your life? Have you ever borrowed money, from any source, that you could not pay back because of your gambling or are in debt because of your gambling? Have you ever sold items to get money to gamble or pay gambling debts? Do you break promises to family and friends in order to gamble? Do you feel isolated because of your gambling? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you may need to regain control of your gambling using the information below. You can also take the confidential "Concerned About Your Gambling" questionnaire on the BeGambleaware website to find out if your gambling is becoming a problem.

What should I do if I think I have a problem?

The first step to regaining control is to be completely honest with yourself and accept that there is a problem, but that you have the will to deal with it. Once you have done this, you will have taken the most important step in dealing with the problem. It may be that simply stopping and realizing that you have exhibited some of the behaviors listed above will be enough for you to change your approach and be able to regain control. Another possibility is that you feel the need for help, advice and support. Never be afraid or ashamed to ask for help. Practical steps to help you stay in control: Limit the level of your deposits or spending or the time you spend online. The gambling websites we recommend offer tools that allow you to impose your own spending limits. If all else fails, stop playing. Self-exclude yourself from all websites where you usually gamble or gamble. If you feel that exclusion is the best option for you, it is advisable to take a proper break from ALL forms of gambling.
