Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At brainbodysense.co.uk, we believe that casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. It is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble in the United Kingdom. If you are under 18, please do not use our services or any gambling platform. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and protecting young people.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following behaviours in yourself, you may have a gambling problem:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding your gambling from family, friends, or loved ones
- Neglecting work, school, family, or hobbies due to gambling
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
- Lying about the extent of your gambling activities
- Experiencing financial difficulties or debt related to gambling
- Attempting unsuccessfully to cut down or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
If any of these apply to you, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Safeguards
Many gambling platforms offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're willing to lose during a session or period
- Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications reminding you how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic timeouts after a predetermined period of play
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently close your account to take a break from gambling
- Account Restrictions: Reduce betting limits or disable certain features
Use these tools to stay in control. If your operator does not offer adequate protections, consider moving to a more responsible platform.
