Responsible Gaming
Gambling should always be a form of entertainment, never a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to gamble, do so responsibly and within your means. Remember that the odds are always in favour of the operator, and losing is a possible outcome.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older (or the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction) to use any gambling services. Underage gambling is illegal and can lead to serious consequences. We encourage parents and guardians to use filtering software to prevent minors from accessing gambling websites.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you care about, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing losses – trying to win back money you have lost
- Hiding gambling activity from family or friends
- Gambling with money intended for bills, rent, or other essentials
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut down or stop
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
- Neglecting work, studies, or relationships because of gambling
- Gambling to escape from stress, anxiety, or depression
Self-Help Tools
Many gambling platforms offer tools to help you stay in control. Even if the casinos listed on this site are not part of GamStop, you can still set personal limits and practise responsible play:
- Deposit limits: set a maximum amount you can deposit daily, weekly, or monthly
- Loss limits: set a maximum amount you are willing to lose in a given period
- Reality checks: activate reminders that show how long you have been playing
- Self-exclusion: block yourself from accessing a gambling site for a set period or permanently
- Time-outs: take a short break from gambling, from 24 hours up to several weeks
Always check the responsible gaming page of each casino you visit, as tools may vary between operators.
