Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At Bobby Braddock, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While betting can be fun and exciting, it's important to recognise that the house always has an edge, and you should only ever gamble with money you can afford to lose.

Please gamble responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification

All gambling operators in the United Kingdom are legally required to ensure that customers are at least 18 years of age. By using any betting site, you confirm that you are 18 years of age or older and that you meet all legal requirements to gamble in your jurisdiction.

If you are under 18, or if gambling is illegal in your location, please do not proceed with any betting activities.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Recognising the warning signs of problem gambling is the first step towards seeking help. Ask yourself if you experience any of the following:

• Spending more money on gambling than you intended or can afford
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Hiding your gambling activities or lying about the amount you spend
• Neglecting family, work, education, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
• Experiencing sleep disruption or anxiety related to gambling
• Feeling irritable or anxious when attempting to reduce or stop gambling
• Repeatedly trying and failing to cut back or quit gambling
• Jeopardising relationships or opportunities because of gambling

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it's time to seek support.

Self-Help Tools & Features

Most reputable betting operators offer built-in tools to help you gamble responsibly. These include:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Cap the amount of money you're willing to lose within a given timeframe
• Reality Checks: Receive reminders about how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from a betting site or multiple sites
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely
• Timeout/Break: Take a cooling-off period away from gambling

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