Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At A&G Builders, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be viewed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Like any form of entertainment, it carries risk and should only be enjoyed with money you can afford to lose.
We encourage all players to gamble within their means and to take breaks regularly. If you feel that your gambling is becoming a problem, please seek help immediately from one of the support organisations listed below.
Age Verification
It is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 in Great Britain to gamble online or in person. By accessing our website, you confirm that:
- You are at least 18 years of age
- You are not excluded from gambling by any relevant authority
- You have read and understood our terms and conditions
We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or others, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing losses by gambling more money to try to recover what you've lost
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
- Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends or colleagues
- Neglecting work, education, family or social responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts
- Gambling to escape from problems, stress or difficult feelings
- Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- Experiencing anxiety, irritability or restlessness when trying to reduce gambling
- Lying about the extent of your gambling activities
- Risking important relationships, education or job opportunities due to gambling
If you experience any of these signs, please contact one of the support organisations listed below.
Self-Help Tools and Controls
Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you stay in control of your gambling. These include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose within a specified time period
- Betting Limits: Restrict the amount you can wager on individual bets
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders of how long you have been gambling and how much you have spent
- Session Limits: Set a time limit for your gaming sessions
- Self-Exclusion: Take a break from gambling by temporarily or permanently closing your account
We encourage you to use these tools to maintain control over your gambling activities. They are available through your casino account settings.
