Responsible Gambling

Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling

At 10casinolists.uk, we believe gambling should always be a form of entertainment, never a way to make money or escape problems. We are committed to promoting responsible gambling practices and providing resources to help you stay in control.

Signs of Problem Gambling

It's important to recognise the warning signs of problem gambling. Ask yourself these questions:

• Do you spend more money or time gambling than you can afford?
• Do you find it hard to stop gambling once you've started?
• Have you tried to win back money you've lost (chasing losses)?
• Have you borrowed money or sold possessions to gamble?
• Has gambling affected your relationships or work?
• Do you gamble to escape problems or relieve feelings of anxiety or depression?
• Have you lied to family members or friends about your gambling?
• Do you feel restless or irritable when trying to reduce gambling?

If you answered 'yes' to any of these questions, you may have a gambling problem. Please seek help immediately using the resources below.

Tools to Help You Stay in Control

All UK licensed casinos are required to provide responsible gambling tools. These include:

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit into your casino account. Once reached, you cannot deposit more until the limit resets.

Loss Limits

Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose over a specified period. The casino will prevent you from losing more than this amount.

Session Time Limits

Set reminders or automatic logouts after a certain period of play to help you keep track of time spent gambling.

Reality Checks

Receive regular pop-up notifications showing how long you've been playing and your wins/losses during that session.

Self-Exclusion

Take a break from gambling by self-excluding from a casino for a period of time (typically 6 months to 5 years). During this time, you cannot access your account.

GAMSTOP - National Self-Exclusion

GAMSTOP is the free national online self-exclusion scheme. When you register with GAMSTOP, you will be excluded from all UK licensed online gambling sites for a period of your choice (6 months, 1 year, or 5 years).

Tips for Responsible Gambling

1. Set a budget: Decide how much you can afford to lose before you start and stick to it.
2. Set a time limit: Decide how long you will play before you start.
3. Never chase losses: Accept that losing is part of gambling. Don't try to win back what you've lost.
4. Don't gamble when emotional: Avoid gambling when you're upset, angry, or depressed.
5. Take regular breaks: Step away from the screen regularly.
6. Balance gambling with other activities: Ensure gambling doesn't become your only hobby.
7. Never borrow to gamble: Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
8. Keep track of your gambling: Monitor your deposits, losses, and time spent.

Understanding the Odds

All casino games have a built-in house edge, meaning the casino will always have a mathematical advantage over time. While you may win in the short term, the longer you play, the more likely you are to lose.

Remember:

• Gambling outcomes are determined by random number generators (RNGs)
• Past results do not influence future outcomes
• No betting system can guarantee wins
• The house always has an edge

Protecting Minors

Gambling is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. It is illegal for anyone under 18 to gamble in the UK. If you share your device with minors, we recommend:

• Installing parental control software
• Never saving your casino login details
• Keeping your account password secure
• Educating young people about the risks of gambling

Helpful resources for protecting minors:

• Net Nanny
• Cyber Patrol
• GamBlock

UK Gambling Commission

All casinos we recommend are licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC). The UKGC ensures that gambling is conducted fairly and openly, protects children and vulnerable people from gambling harm, and ensures crime is kept out of gambling.

If you have a complaint about a UK licensed casino that cannot be resolved directly, you can contact an approved Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) provider.
