Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At boxroompress.co.uk, we believe gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses or gamble when under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
We are committed to promoting safer gambling practices across our platform. If you choose to gamble, please do so responsibly.
Age Verification
In the United Kingdom, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in gambling activities. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity and age at any time. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to access our affiliate partners' sites.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately:
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Constantly thinking about gambling or past gambling experiences
- Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Becoming anxious or irritable when trying to reduce or stop gambling
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the extent of gambling
- Gambling to escape problems, anxiety, depression, or stress
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, education, family, or relationships due to gambling
- Failed attempts to control, cut back, or stop gambling
- Experiencing financial difficulties due to gambling
Self-Help Tools and Controls
Most reputable online casinos offer various tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a daily, weekly, or monthly limit on the amount you can deposit
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose during a specific period
- Session Time Limits: Receive reminders or automatic session termination after a set period
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders about how long you have been gambling and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling sites for a specified period
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you choose to stop gambling
Always use these tools proactively. Your casino operator should make these features easily accessible in your account settings.
