Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At The King's Arms, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Betting should be enjoyable and within your means. If gambling stops being fun or starts causing stress, it's important to seek help immediately.

Age Verification

All users must be 18 years of age or older to use betting services in the United Kingdom. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and take age verification seriously. By accessing betting sites through this affiliate, you confirm that you are of legal gambling age in your jurisdiction.

If you are under 18, gambling is not permitted. If you are a parent or guardian concerned about a young person's gambling, please contact the support organisations listed below.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

It's important to recognise the warning signs of problem gambling. If you experience any of the following, please seek help:

• Chasing losses: Gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Hiding gambling activity: Concealing the extent of your betting from friends, family, or loved ones
• Loss of control: Inability to stop gambling or stick to set limits
• Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, family time, or other obligations due to gambling
• Borrowing money: Taking loans or using credit to fund gambling
• Mood changes: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when unable to gamble
• Escalating stakes: Needing to bet larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
• Lying about gambling: Being dishonest with others about the time or money spent
• Relationship strain: Arguments with family or friends about gambling habits
• Financial difficulties: Struggling to pay bills or debts due to gambling

Self-Help Tools & Features

Responsible gambling operators provide several tools to help you stay in 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 how much you're willing to lose during a session or period
• Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications reminding you how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
• Session Timeouts: Automatically log out after a set period to encourage breaks
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling services

We strongly encourage you to use these tools as part of responsible gambling practices.
