Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At Art of Borg, 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 enjoyed responsibly, within your means, and only with money you can afford to lose.
If you find yourself gambling more than intended or experiencing negative consequences from your betting activities, please seek help immediately. Support is available, and recovery is possible.
Age Verification
All users must be at least 18 years of age or the legal age for gambling in their jurisdiction. In the United Kingdom, the legal age for gambling is 18 years old.
If you are under the legal age to gamble, please do not use any betting services. Underage gambling can have serious consequences for your wellbeing and future.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Be aware of these common warning signs that may indicate problematic gambling behaviour:
- Frequently thinking about gambling or past betting experiences
- Chasing losses by gambling with increasing amounts of money
- Hiding gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
- Experiencing mood changes or irritability when unable to gamble
- Using gambling as a way to escape problems or relieve stress
- Spending more time and money on gambling than originally intended
- Neglecting work, education, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Feeling unable to stop or reduce gambling despite wanting to
- Lying to others about the extent of your gambling
- Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, it may be time to seek professional support.
