Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At Kerslake Review, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Casino games are designed for fun, and the house always has a mathematical advantage. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and never use gambling as an investment strategy or income source.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble in the United Kingdom. It is illegal for anyone under 18 to participate in casino gaming. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and reserve the right to verify the age of all users. If you are under 18, please do not access gambling services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Gambling can become problematic. Please be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses by spending more money to try to recover previous losses
- Gambling with larger amounts of money than intended
- Hiding gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
- Neglecting work, education, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Using gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, or other problems
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Being unable to cut down or stop gambling despite wanting to
- Becoming irritable or anxious when trying to reduce gambling
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools
Many online casinos offer responsible gaming 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: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose
- Reality Checks: Receive notifications during play sessions to remind you how long you have been gambling and how much you have spent
- Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to prevent extended gambling periods
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from an online casino account
We encourage you to use these tools and speak with customer support if you need assistance setting them up.
