Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Verywell Casino, we believe gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you find yourself relying on gambling for income or to recover losses, it may be time to seek support.

Please gamble responsibly and within your means. Set a budget you can afford to lose and stick to it.

Age Verification

In the United Kingdom, you must be at least 18 years of age to gamble legally. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and verify all users' ages during registration.

If you are under 18, please do not attempt to access gambling services. Parents and guardians can use parental control tools to restrict access to gambling websites.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do you recognize any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know?

• Chasing Losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
• Hiding Gambling: Concealing the extent or frequency of your gambling from family and friends
• Loss of Control: Unable to stop gambling or stick to set limits
• Neglecting Responsibilities: Gambling instead of working, studying, or caring for family
• Borrowing Money: Taking loans or using credit to fund gambling
• Mood Changes: Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
• Gambling Longer Than Planned: Sessions regularly extending beyond your intended time
• Relationship Problems: Conflicts with loved ones over gambling habits
• Financial Difficulties: Struggling to pay bills or meet financial obligations
• Escalating Bets: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same excitement

If you identify with several of these signs, support is available. Please reach out to an organization listed below.
