Responsible Gaming
Responsible Gaming Pledge
Skill On Net Limited, together with luckyvegas.me.uk, is committed to promoting responsible gaming. Gambling should be a form of entertainment, never a way to earn money, recover losses or escape personal difficulties.
Gambling is strictly for adults. Anyone under the age of 18 is not permitted to gamble, and we encourage adults to keep gambling devices and accounts out of the reach of children. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and never borrow money to do so.
Problem Signs
Gambling may be becoming a problem if you recognise any of the following in your own behaviour:
- Spending more money or time on gambling than you intended or can afford.
- Chasing losses by gambling again in an attempt to win back money you have lost.
- Borrowing money, selling possessions or neglecting bills in order to gamble.
- Feeling restless, irritable or anxious when trying to cut down or stop.
- Hiding your gambling from family and friends, or lying about how much you gamble.
- Neglecting work, studies or family responsibilities because of gambling.
If one or more of these signs apply to you, consider taking a break and seeking support.
Account Restriction
Players who feel they need to step back from gambling can use self-exclusion. This is a voluntary measure that prevents access to gambling for a chosen period or indefinitely. Licensed casinos offer self-exclusion on request, usually for a fixed period or permanently. During the exclusion period, you should not attempt to open new accounts or gamble elsewhere.
Self-exclusion is also available through national schemes. GAMSTOP (gamstop.co.uk) is the national self-exclusion register, and registering with it blocks you from all participating licensed operators at once. You can choose the length of your exclusion when you register.
We recommend that anyone considering self-exclusion also install software that blocks gambling websites and speak to someone they trust about their situation.
Control Options
Licensed casinos offer a range of tools that help players stay in control of their gambling. These typically include:
- Deposit limits, which cap the amount you can pay in over a day, week or month.
- Loss limits, which cap the amount you can lose within a chosen period.
- Time limits, which restrict the total time you spend gambling.
- Session limits, which end a gambling session after a set length of time.
- Reality checks, which display regular reminders of how long you have been playing and how much you have spent.
We encourage players to set these limits before they start gambling and to review them regularly. Lowering a limit usually takes effect immediately, while raising one is normally subject to a waiting period.
Help & Assistance
If gambling is causing you or someone close to you concern, free and confidential support is available:
- GamCare - National Gambling Helpline 0808 8020 133 (gamcare.org.uk)
Anonymous self-help groups, where people share their experiences and support one another in recovering from gambling problems, can also provide valuable encouragement. Speaking with a doctor, a trusted friend or a family member is another important step.
