Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At pitminsterww1.co.uk, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to approach gambling with a clear understanding that the house always has an advantage, and outcomes are based on chance.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age or older (or the legal age in your jurisdiction) to use our services. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not participate in any gambling activities.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following warning signs in your behaviour, it may be time to seek help:

• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activities or lying to friends and family
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Experiencing relationship, work, or financial problems due to gambling
• Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
• Increasing amounts of money needed to achieve the same excitement
• Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
• Neglecting personal, family, or professional responsibilities

Self-Help Tools

We provide several tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to deposit within a specific period
• Loss Limits: Establish a limit on the amount you are willing to lose
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you have been playing and how much you have spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from our platform if you feel you are losing control
• Account Closure: Request permanent closure of your account

For assistance in setting these limits, please contact our customer support team.
