Responsible Gaming
Gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always play within your means and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In the UK, the legal gambling age is 18. You must be 18 or older to gamble on poker sites. Always verify your age and identity when opening an account. If you are outside the UK, follow your local legal age requirement.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
- Chasing losses or trying to win back money you have lost
- Hiding your gambling from family or friends
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
- Neglecting work, studies, or relationships because of gambling
- Feeling anxious, guilty, or irritable when not gambling
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable UK poker sites offer practical tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit limits – set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week or month
- Loss limits – cap the amount you are willing to lose in a session or period
- Reality checks – receive reminders about how long you have been playing
- Self-exclusion – take a break from gambling for a set period or permanently
