Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At wolseyjunior.org, we believe that online casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Casino games are games of chance, and the house always has a mathematical advantage. You should never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, and gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems.
Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
Online casino gaming in the United Kingdom is only available to individuals aged 18 years and over. It is your responsibility to ensure you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction before participating in any gambling activities.
If you are under 18, please do not use casino services. Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor and restrict access to gambling websites.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop without you realizing it. Please be aware of the following warning signs:
- Chasing Losses: Trying to recover money lost by gambling more
- Hiding Gambling: Keeping your gambling activities secret from friends or family
- Increasing Stakes: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Gambling instead of attending work, school, or family obligations
- Borrowing Money: Taking loans or using credit to fund gambling
- Mood Changes: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when unable to gamble
- Loss of Control: Inability to stop or reduce gambling despite wanting to
- Financial Problems: Experiencing unexplained financial difficulties or debt
- Relationship Strain: Conflicts with loved ones over gambling habits
- Tolerance: Needing to spend more time and money gambling to feel the same effect
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone else, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools and Player 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 specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose before stopping play
- Session Time Limits: Receive automatic reminders or automatic logout after a set period of play
- Reality Checks: Request pop-up notifications at regular intervals to help you stay aware of time and money spent
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from accessing casino services for a period of time
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely
Most casinos are required by UK gambling regulations to offer these protections. Speak with customer support if you need assistance setting up any of these tools.
