Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Curtis and Rachel, we believe that casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While online casinos can be fun and exciting, it's important to understand that the house always has an edge, and you should only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
All visitors to casino sites must be 18 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction). It is illegal for anyone under this age to gamble online in the UK.
By accessing casino sites through our affiliate links, you confirm that you are of legal age and that gambling is permitted in your country or region of residence.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available:
- Chasing losses — gambling more to try to recover money you've lost
- Hiding gambling activity — concealing the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Neglecting responsibilities — missing work, family time, or other obligations due to gambling
- Increasing stakes — needing to gamble with larger amounts to get the same level of excitement
- Failed attempts to quit — unsuccessful efforts to reduce or stop gambling
- Gambling with borrowed money — using credit cards, loans, or money from others to gamble
- Mood changes — becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when unable to gamble
- Relationship strain — gambling causing conflict with family or friends
- Financial difficulties — experiencing money problems as a result of gambling
Self-Help Tools and Controls
Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:
- Deposit Limits — Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits — Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose before stopping
- Reality Checks — Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
- Time-Out/Break — Take a temporary break from gambling for a set period
- Self-Exclusion — Permanently close your account if you feel you've lost control
We recommend using these tools proactively, even if you feel in control of your gambling.
