Responsible Gaming

Introduction to Responsible Gaming

At EITTS, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Betting should never be considered a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.

We are committed to promoting safer gambling practices and supporting our users in maintaining control over their gaming activities.

Age Verification

In the United Kingdom, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in gambling activities. This is a legal requirement under UK gambling law.

All users of betting sites must verify their age during registration. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register or place bets.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Please be aware of the following warning signs that may indicate problem gambling:

• Chasing losses: Trying to recover lost money by gambling more
• Hiding gambling activity: Keeping your gambling secret from friends and family
• Spending more than intended: Regularly betting more money or for longer than planned
• Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or social commitments due to gambling
• Using gambling to escape: Gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, or other emotions
• Borrowing to gamble: Taking out loans or using credit to fund gambling activities
• Unsuccessful attempts to cut back: Repeatedly trying to reduce gambling without success
• Mood changes: Experiencing irritability or anxiety when unable to gamble
• Relationship strain: Gambling-related conflicts with loved ones
• Financial difficulties: Struggling with bills, debts, or financial obligations

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself, please reach out for support immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Controls

Most reputable betting sites offer tools to help you maintain control. These include:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Restrict the amount of money you are willing to lose over a set period
• Betting Limits: Cap the maximum stake size on individual bets
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how much time and money you have spent gambling
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling sites
• Time-Out: Take a break from gambling for a specified duration
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely

We encourage you to use these tools proactively as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
