Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At nottybites.co.uk, we're committed to promoting responsible gambling. It's important to understand that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses or use gambling as an escape from personal difficulties.
Age Verification
We take player safety seriously. You must be at least 18 years old (or the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction) to use our services. We conduct age verification checks during registration and reserve the right to request additional documentation to confirm your age at any time.
If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not attempt to register or access our platform.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following behaviours in yourself or others, please seek help immediately:
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
- Repeatedly trying to cut back or control your gambling without success
- Experiencing anxiety, irritability, or restlessness when attempting to reduce gambling
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Lying to friends, family, or therapists about the extent of your gambling
- Jeopardising relationships, jobs, education, or career opportunities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or becoming reliant on others to fund your gambling
- Gambling as an escape from problems or to relieve stress, anxiety, or depression
- Neglecting personal, professional, or family responsibilities
- Feeling unable to stop gambling despite wanting to
Self-Help Tools & Controls
We provide several tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a daily, weekly, or monthly limit on the amount you can deposit to help manage your spending.
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you're willing to lose over a set period.
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about your time spent and money wagered during gaming sessions.
- Session Limits: Set time restrictions to prevent extended gambling sessions.
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account if you feel your gambling is becoming problematic.
- Account Closure: Request permanent closure of your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely.
All of these tools can be managed through your account settings, or contact our customer support team for assistance.
