Online-Casino.GB.Net - Responsible Gambling
We at Online-Casino.GB.Net have a responsibility to you, our customers, to ensure that you enjoy any
experience you have at our recommended online casinos. And we know some people have problems controlling
the gambling, so this page is dedicated to helping them. We are able to do this because we have talked to
GamCare, a charitable organisation that provides help and counselling to those with gambling problems, and
if you have any doubt then contact them.
Whilst the majority of people do gamble within their means for some it can spiral out of control. In order
to help you keep in control we would like you to remember the following, while playing at your favourite
casino.
Gambling should be entertaining and not seen as a genuine way of making money.
Avoid chasing loses.
Only gamble what you can afford to lose.
Keep track of the time and amount of money you spend gambling.
If you need to talk to someone about problem gambling then contact GamCare.
GamCare are a National Association addressing the social impact of gambling. Gaming Corporation Plc works
with GamCare to help develop policies and practices that address problem gambling in accordance with their
Social Responsibility Code of Conduct.
If you are concerned that gambling may have taken over your or someone else's life then the following
questions may help you find out.
Do you have a problem?
Ask yourself the following:
Do you stay away from work, college or school to gamble?
Do you gamble to escape from a boring or unhappy life?
When gambling and you run out of money, do you feel lost and in despair, and need to gamble again as soon
as possible?
Do you gamble until your last penny is gone, even the bus fare home or the cost of a cup of tea?
Have you ever lied to cover up the amount of money or time you have gambled?
Have others ever criticised your gambling?
Have you lied, stolen or borrowed just to get money to gamble or to pay gambling debts?
Are you reluctant to spend 'gambling money' on anything else?
Have you lost interest in your family, friends or interests?
After losing, do you feel you must try and win back your losses as soon as possible?
Do arguments, frustrations or disappointments make you want to gamble?
Do you feel depressed or even suicidal because of your gambling?
The more you answer 'yes' to the above questions, the more likely you are to have a serious gambling
problem. To speak to someone about this visit the GamCare website www.gamcare.org.uk.
Underage play
It is illegal for anyone under 18 (in the UK) to open an account or to play an online casino. We have taken
steps to ensure that our site does not attract young people but we can not control everything. However, we
do ask that if young people have access your computer with internet access, that you take care to keep your
account details confidential, and that you do not leave children unattended around your computer while you
are using our website.
