Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At uroost.co.uk, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gambling carries an inherent risk of loss, and you should only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Please gamble responsibly and within your means. If you find yourself struggling to control your gambling, help is available.
Age Verification
In the United Kingdom, you must be 18 years of age or older to gamble legally. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity and age from all players.
If you are under 18, or if you are in a jurisdiction where the legal gambling age is higher, you must not use this website or any affiliated casino sites.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please review the following checklist and seek help if you recognise any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know:
- Spending more time or money gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Neglecting family, work, school, or other important responsibilities due to gambling
- Experiencing anxiety, depression, or irritability when not gambling
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
- Borrowing money or accumulating debt to fund gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Relationship problems or conflict due to gambling
If you recognise any of these signs, it is important to seek support immediately.
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable online casinos offer a range of self-help tools designed to help you maintain control of your gambling. These tools include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Limit the amount of money you are willing to lose during a gaming session
- Time Limits: Set a time limit for your gaming sessions to prevent excessive play
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders during your session about how long you have been playing and how much you have spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from a casino site or multiple sites via GamStop
We encourage you to use these tools proactively. Speak to the customer support team at any casino site if you need help setting up limits or using self-exclusion features.
