Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At Verywell Casino, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While we offer exciting casino games, it's important to understand that the house always has a mathematical advantage. Play only with money you can afford to lose, and never gamble with funds needed for essential expenses like rent, utilities, or food.

Age Verification

Gambling is strictly for adults only. In the UK, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in any form of gambling. Verywell Casino is committed to preventing underage gambling and verifying the age of all players before allowing access to our platform.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately:

• Chasing losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
• Hiding gambling: Concealing the extent of your gambling from family, friends, or partners
• Loss of control: Being unable to stop or reduce your gambling despite wanting to
• Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gambling
• Financial problems: Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Mood changes: Gambling to escape negative feelings, anxiety, or depression
• Tolerance: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
• Withdrawal symptoms: Feeling irritable or anxious when trying to reduce gambling
• Failed attempts to quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to control your gambling

Self-Help Tools

Verywell Casino provides several responsible gaming tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a limit on the amount you're prepared to lose during a gaming session
• Session Time Limits: Receive notifications after a set period of play to remind you to take a break
• Reality Checks: Regular pop-up reminders displaying how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from your account for a specified period, ranging from weeks to years
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely

We encourage you to use these tools proactively. Speak to our customer support team if you need assistance setting up any of these features.
