Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At madebyyoungpeople.co.uk, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming. Gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
In the United Kingdom, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in gambling activities. We strictly enforce age verification and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under 18, you are not permitted to access or use gambling services on this website.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, problem gambling may be an issue:
- Chasing losses by gambling with increasing amounts of money
- Hiding or lying about gambling activities and expenditure
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Neglecting family, work, or social responsibilities due to gambling
- Gambling to escape negative emotions or stress
- Unable to control or reduce gambling behaviour
- Borrowing money or accumulating debt to fund gambling
- Experiencing mood swings related to winning or losing
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Friends and family expressing concern about your gambling habits
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable gambling operators offer tools to help you maintain control. These include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose
- Betting Limits: Restrict the size of individual bets
- Reality Checks: Receive notifications during your gaming session to remind you of time and money spent
- Timeout/Cool-off Periods: Temporarily suspend your account for a set period
- Self-Exclusion: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling
We encourage you to use these tools to maintain healthy gambling habits.
