Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At Bones Entertainment, we believe gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We are committed to promoting a safe and responsible gaming environment for all our users.

Age Verification

All users must be 18 years of age or older to access and use betting sites in the United Kingdom. We implement strict age verification measures to ensure compliance with UK gambling regulations. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register or place bets.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please review the following warning signs and seek help if you recognise any of these behaviours in yourself or others:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Gambling with money needed for essentials (bills, rent, food)
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount spent
• Difficulty controlling the amount of time or money spent gambling
• Neglecting family, work, or other important responsibilities due to gambling
• Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
• Borrowing money or accumulating debt to fund gambling
• Unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to feel the same excitement

Self-Help Tools & Player Protection Features

Reputable betting sites offer various tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Restrict the amount of money you are willing to lose over a set period
• Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
• Session Limits: Set time limits on your gambling sessions
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling accounts
• Account Closure: Request permanent account closure if you wish to stop gambling entirely

We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain a healthy relationship with gambling.
