Responsible Gaming
Gambling should be a form of entertainment — never a way to earn money, pay debts, or solve financial problems. Always play responsibly and within your limits.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years or older, or meet the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, to gamble. In the UK, all licensed poker sites are legally required to verify your age and identity before allowing real-money play.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Gambling can become harmful. Please seek help if you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else:
- Chasing losses by returning to win back money
- Hiding gambling activities or lying to family and friends
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
- Neglecting work, studies, or relationships because of gambling
- Feeling anxious, guilty, or irritable when trying to cut down
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
- Being unable to stop or control gambling sessions
Self-Help Tools
Most UK-licensed poker sites offer practical tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit limits — cap how much you can add to your account daily, weekly, or monthly
- Loss limits — set a maximum amount you can lose over a set period
- Reality checks — receive on-screen reminders of time spent playing
- Time-outs — take a short break from gambling for 24 hours to several weeks
- Self-exclusion — block access to gambling sites for a set period
- Account history — review your deposits, withdrawals, and play
In the UK, you can also self-exclude from all licensed online gambling sites at once through GamStop.
