Responsible Gambling
The team here at our Website believes that gambling should be used as a way of entertainment – not turned into an area of stress, bill problems, or personal harm.
This Responsible Gambling page is designed to supplement this, offering general information and drawing attention to safer decision-making should users wish to participate in real-money gambling on third-party sites.
1. Our Position on Gambling
Our Website is a self-help directory.
We do not provide a gambling service, we do not accept bets, and we are not an online payment processor.
We do not recommend that you participate in gambling, and we are not capable of solving your financial problems, not even if you say that all of this is just for fun.
All decisions to gamble real money are responsible by the end user.
2. Gambling Is Not Risk-Free
Gambling involves risk. Some enjoy it, but there can be great negative outcomes as well if not done with proper care.
Potential risks may include:
- financial loss,
- emotional distress,
- relationship or work-related problems,
- time and money wasted on it.
Knowing these risks is a key aspect of responsible gambling.
3. Gambling Is Not a Source of Income
Gambling is not something you should ever consider:
- a reliable way to make money,
- a solution to financial difficulties,
- a substitute for working or investing.
Results are random, and losses can and will occur.
There is no system, strategy, or past success that can assure future results.
4. Know the Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. There are some common red flags, such as:
- playing with money that you can’t afford to lose.
- loss chasing (i.e., continuing to gamble),
- exceeding planned time or money,
- being stressed, anxious, or guilty when you gamble.
- hiding gambling activity from others,
- neglecting work, relationships, or responsibilities.
Spotting these signs early can help prevent additional damage.
5. Practical Tips for Responsible Gambling
If you decide to play around, bear in mind these general rules:
- Before you play, set a budget – and stick to it.
- Only gamble with money that you can afford to lose.
- Place time constraints and take intermittent breaks.
- Never play at the casino in a state of stress, fatigue, or emotional distress.
- Do not try and make your losses back by gambling more.
- Think of gambling as a form of entertainment, not competitive play or an income source.
6. Self-Exclusion and Limits
The majority of licensed betting operators provide measures to assist players in keeping their gambling under control, including:
- deposit limits,
- loss limits,
- time limits,
- cooling-off periods,
- self-exclusion options.
If you’re starting to feel like gambling is becoming an issue, using these resources can be a good first step.
7. Self-Excluded and Vulnerable Individuals
People who should not use this Site
- have self-excluded from gambling,
- are legally prohibited from gambling,

You should not use the gambling content or third-party gambling websites if you intend to self-exclude.

- avoiding misleading or exaggerated claims,

We do not glamorise gambling or pretend that there are no risks involved.
10. Parental Controls and Content Blocking Tools
Parents and guardians are advised to be vigilant with internet use on devices used by children or young people. Both devices and browsers can be filtered at the source (locally, if on the device or in-app), as well as through a variety of third-party parental control and content filtering mechanisms.
These tools can help:
- blocking access to gaming and adult-content sites,
- monitor online activity,
- set time restrictions and usage schedules,
- block certain types of content on all devices.
The parent restriction services have been extensively used in practice, such as:
Net Nanny
Delivers online filtering, blocks inappropriate websites, and manages screen time on any device
Qustodio
Provides page-content filtering along with capabilities for activity and time control.
Kaspersky Safe Kids
https://www.kaspersky.com/safe-kids
Comes with a bunch of features like website filtering, app management, and location tracking.
Norton Family
Enables parent to monitor their children’s online activity, block inappropriate material, and limit the time of browsing.
OpenDNS / Cisco Umbrella
Offers network-level content filtering to restrict users from visiting gambling and adult websites.
The devices and services may not be available in all countries, and are subject to change without notice.
Parental control software is not a substitute for personal supervision, but can be an additional support and prevent minors from entering gambling websites.

12. Final Reminder
Gambling, like all forms of entertainment, should be a choice – not something you are being pressured to do or lean on as a crutch for your troubles.
But if gambling is no longer fun, then take a break and reevaluate what you’re doing, and reach out for help.
