Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At campfuntime.org, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the cinema or watching live sports. It should never be considered a way to earn money or solve financial problems.
Betting sites featured on our platform are for adults seeking recreational enjoyment only. If you choose to gamble, please do so responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
Gambling is only legal for individuals aged 18 years or older in the United Kingdom. All UK-licensed operators are required to verify your age before accepting bets.
If you are under 18, please do not attempt to gamble on any licensed betting site. If you are concerned about a young person's gambling, contact GamCare for guidance.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone else, it may be time to seek help:
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling behaviour or lying about the amount wagered
- Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or personal problems
- Unable to control or cut back on gambling despite wanting to
- Neglecting work, family, or hobbies due to gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling
- Experiencing relationship conflicts because of gambling habits
- Feeling irritable or anxious when not gambling
- Constantly thinking about past gambling or planning future bets
Self-Help Tools & Safer Gambling Features
Responsible operators provide tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount of losses you're willing to accept during a set period
- Betting Limits: Restrict the maximum stake per bet
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
- Time-Out/Cooldown Period: Take a break from gambling for a set period (days, weeks, or months)
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from a single operator for a defined period or permanently
These tools should be your first line of defence if you feel your gambling is becoming problematic. Use them proactively before issues develop.
