Responsible Gambling

Responsible gambling means gambling in a way that is safe, controlled, and within your means. It's about making informed decisions and understanding that gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to make money.

At GR8 UK, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling practices and providing resources for those who may need help.

It's important to recognize the warning signs of problem gambling. These may include:

• Spending more money or time gambling than you can afford
• Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
• Feeling anxious, depressed, or irritable when not gambling
• Lying to family and friends about gambling activities
• Chasing losses by gambling more to try to win back money
• Gambling to escape problems or negative emotions

Set Limits

Before you start gambling, decide how much money and time you can afford to spend. Stick to these limits no matter what.

Never Chase Losses

If you're losing, don't try to win back your losses by gambling more. This usually leads to bigger losses.

Take Regular Breaks

Don't gamble for long periods without breaks. Step away from the screen and do something else.

Don't Gamble Under the Influence

Avoid gambling when you're under the influence of alcohol or drugs, as this can impair your judgment.

Keep Gambling as Entertainment

Remember that gambling is a form of entertainment, not a way to make money. The odds are always in favor of the house.

If you feel that gambling is becoming a problem, there are several tools available to help you:

• Self-Exclusion: Many gambling sites offer self-exclusion programs that allow you to block yourself from accessing their services for a set period.
• Deposit Limits: Set limits on how much you can deposit into your gambling account.
• Time Limits: Set time limits on your gambling sessions.
• Reality Checks: Set up reminders to check how long you've been gambling.
