Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At brainbodysense.co.uk, we believe that gambling should only ever be considered as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. It's important to approach gaming with a responsible mindset and to gamble only with money you can afford to lose.
We are committed to promoting safe and responsible gaming practices for all our users. If you choose to gamble, please do so responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age, or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction (whichever is higher), to use our platform. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. Gambling is not permitted for anyone under the legal age limit.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to win back money you've lost
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to get the same excitement
- Hiding your gambling from family, friends, or partners
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when not gambling
- Neglecting work, study, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Using gambling as a way to escape problems or negative feelings
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Failed attempts to reduce or control gambling
- Experiencing anxiety or depression related to gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, please seek help immediately.
