Responsible Gambling

Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling

At Gbhistorystories, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling and ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all players. We believe that gambling should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a source of financial hardship or personal distress. We only feature casinos that are licensed by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) and that provide comprehensive responsible gambling tools and resources.

What is Responsible Gambling?

Responsible gambling means enjoying casino games and betting activities in a way that is safe, controlled, and within your means. It involves:

• Setting limits on time and money spent gambling
• Never gambling more than you can afford to lose
• Not gambling when you are upset, angry, or under the influence
• Understanding that gambling is not a way to make money or solve financial problems
• Taking regular breaks from gambling
• Seeking help if gambling becomes a problem

Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. It's important to recognize the warning signs early. You may have a gambling problem if you:

• Spend more time or money gambling than you intended
• Feel the need to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve excitement
• Have tried to cut back or stop gambling but couldn't
• Feel restless or irritable when trying to stop gambling
• Gamble to escape problems or relieve feelings of anxiety or depression
• Lie to family members or others about the extent of your gambling
• Have jeopardized relationships, jobs, or opportunities because of gambling
• Rely on others to provide money to relieve desperate financial situations caused by gambling

Responsible Gambling Tools

UKGC-licensed casinos are required to provide various tools to help you gamble responsibly:

• Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit
• Loss Limits: Set limits on how much you can lose in a given period
• Time Limits: Set limits on how long you can play in a session
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling sites
• Reality Checks: Receive reminders about how long you've been playing
• Cool-Off Periods: Take a short break from gambling (24 hours to 6 weeks)

Getting Help

If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, help is available. There are many organizations in the UK that provide free, confidential support:

Age Restrictions

It is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to gamble in the UK. All UKGC-licensed casinos are required to verify the age of their customers. We strongly support these age restrictions and encourage parents and guardians to use parental control software to prevent underage access to gambling websites.

Remember: Gambling should be fun, not a way to make money or escape problems. If gambling stops being fun, it's time to stop. 18+ | Play Responsibly
