Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At Sarah Luke Glass Art, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only. It is not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Betting should never be viewed as a source of income, and you should only gamble with money you can afford to lose. We encourage all players to gamble responsibly and within their means.
Age Verification
All gambling activities are strictly for individuals aged 18 years or over in the UK, or the legal age in your jurisdiction. It is your responsibility to ensure you meet the legal age requirements before participating in any gambling activities. We do not knowingly permit underage gambling.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Please review the following checklist and seek help if you recognize any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know:
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to win money back
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount spent
- Experiencing mood swings related to gambling wins or losses
- Neglecting family, friends, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Increasing the amount wagered to achieve the same level of excitement
- Failed attempts to cut down or control gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Gambling as a way to escape problems or negative feelings
If you recognize any of these signs, please reach out for support immediately.
Self-Help Tools and Safer Gambling Features
Most betting sites offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling. These include:
- 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 are willing to lose over a specific period
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders during your gaming session about how long you've been playing
- Time Limits: Set a specific duration for your gaming sessions
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently close your account if you need a break from gambling
We recommend using these tools proactively to maintain control over your gambling habits.
