Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At danielridingauthor.com, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling. Please remember that casino games are designed for entertainment purposes only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Gambling is only permitted for individuals who are 18 years of age or older in the United Kingdom. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and will not allow access to our services by anyone below the legal age requirement. If you are under 18, please do not proceed.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Feeling anxiety, guilt, or shame about your gambling
- Neglecting work, education, family, or social responsibilities
- Borrowing money to fund gambling
- Experiencing mood swings related to gambling outcomes
- Failed attempts to reduce or control gambling
- Using gambling as an escape from problems or negative emotions
- Tolerance – needing to gamble with larger amounts to feel the same excitement
Self-Help Tools & Player Protection
Most reputable casinos offer a range of 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 of losses you are willing to accept
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Automatically log out after a set period of time
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling for a period you choose
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely
We encourage you to use these tools proactively. Speak with customer support if you need assistance setting limits on your account.
