Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At Brookfield Networking, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. We believe that online casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to gamble, please do so responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
Online gambling in the United Kingdom is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. All UK-licensed casinos we recommend are required to verify your age before allowing you to play. You must be of legal age in your jurisdiction to access these services. If you are under 18, gambling is not for you.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, support is available:
- Gambling for longer periods or with larger amounts than intended
- Repeatedly trying to cut back or stop gambling without success
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time or money spent
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or negative emotions
- Jeopardising relationships, work, education, or financial security because of gambling
- Borrowing money or using credit to gamble
- Experiencing mood swings or becoming irritable when unable to gamble
- Feeling anxious or restless when not gambling
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to feel the same excitement
Self-Help Tools & Safer Gambling Features
Reputable UK-licensed casinos provide tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose in a given timeframe
- Session Limits: Restrict how long you can play in a single session
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from an online casino
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling
Use these tools to set boundaries before you start playing. Remember: the house always has a mathematical edge. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.
