Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At duoperth.co.uk, we believe that gambling should only ever be a form of entertainment, never a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Betting should be fun, affordable, and under your control at all times.
Please gamble responsibly and within your means. If you feel that your gambling is becoming a concern, help is available.
Age Verification
In the United Kingdom, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in gambling activities. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and verify the age of all users before account opening and play.
If you are under 18, or if you know someone who is underage and gambling, please contact us or report the matter to the relevant authorities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money you've lost
- Lying to family, friends, or others about the extent of your gambling
- Gambling with money needed for essentials such as food, rent, or bills
- Feeling unable to stop or control your gambling
- Experiencing mood swings, irritability, or anxiety when not gambling
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Spending increasing amounts of time or money on gambling
- Using gambling as an escape from stress, depression, or anxiety
- Friends or family expressing concern about your gambling habits
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, it's important to seek help immediately.
