Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

Bitcoin betting and online gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. It is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.

Remember: the house always has a mathematical edge. Only bet what you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

Gambling is only for adults aged 18 years and over in the United Kingdom. It is illegal for anyone under the legal age to participate in gambling activities.

All players must verify their age and identity before registering with any betting site. If you are under 18, please do not gamble.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following behaviours, you may be developing a gambling problem:

• Gambling more than you intended or with more money than planned
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover what you've lost
• Hiding your gambling or lying about how much you gamble
• Neglecting family, work, or social commitments due to gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
• Risking important relationships or opportunities

If you recognise these signs in yourself or someone else, seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Controls

Most responsible betting sites offer built-in tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose
• Reality Checks: Receive notifications reminding you of how long you've been gambling and how much you've wagered
• Time-Out: Temporarily suspend your account for a period you choose (typically 24 hours to several weeks)
• Self-Exclusion: Permanently or temporarily close your account and exclude yourself from gambling sites

Use these tools proactively to stay in control of your gambling.
