Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At margroberts.co.uk, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Like any form of entertainment, it should be enjoyed responsibly and within your means.
Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses or bet more than you can comfortably manage.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older (or the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction) to use this website and participate in any gambling activities.
We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under the legal age for gambling, please do not proceed.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in your own behaviour, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to win back lost money
- Hiding your gambling activities or lying to friends and family about how much you gamble
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or feelings of depression
- Feeling anxious or irritable when you try to cut down or stop gambling
- Neglecting work, school, family, or other important responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling or gambling with money earmarked for essential bills
- Experiencing relationship problems due to your gambling habits
- Failed attempts to reduce or control your gambling
- Thinking about gambling frequently, even when you're not playing
If you recognise any of these signs, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control over your gambling. Consider using:
- 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 before you must stop playing
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders during your gaming session about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Automatically end your session after a set period of time
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from accessing gambling services for a set period
- Account Closure: Permanently or temporarily close your account if you wish to stop gambling
We encourage you to use these tools as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
