Responsible Gambling

Our Commitment

At skiteekie, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling practices. We believe gambling should be enjoyable entertainment, not a method to make money or resolve financial difficulties.

Understanding the Risks

It's important to understand that:

• Gambling involves financial risk - you may lose money
• The odds favour the casino operator
• There is no guaranteed winning method
• Chasing losses typically leads to greater losses
• Gambling should never be viewed as income

Gambling Responsibly

To gamble responsibly, we recommend:

• Set a budget: Only gamble with money you can afford to lose
• Set time limits: Decide in advance how long you'll play
• Never chase losses: Accept losses as part of entertainment cost
• Take regular breaks: Step away from gambling regularly
• Don't gamble when upset: Avoid gambling when stressed, depressed, or under influence
• Keep it balanced: Maintain other hobbies and interests
• Don't borrow to gamble: Never gamble with borrowed money

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. Warning signs include:

• Spending more money or time gambling than you can afford
• Finding it difficult to stop or control your gambling
• Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Lying about or hiding your gambling activities
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
• Feeling anxious, depressed, or irritable about gambling
• Gambling to escape problems or negative feelings
• Chasing losses by gambling more

Self-Exclusion and Limits

Most UK-licensed casino operators offer tools to help control your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits
• Loss Limits: Set limits on how much you can lose
• Time Limits: Set session time reminders
• Self-Exclusion: Block yourself from gambling for a set period
• Reality Checks: Receive reminders of how long you've been playing
