Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At Robinson's Café, we believe gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Betting apps and casino games are designed for fun and should never be considered as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older to use betting apps and participate in gambling activities in the United Kingdom. It is illegal for anyone under 18 to gamble. If you are under 18, please do not use our recommended services.

All licensed operators in the UK are required to verify your age before allowing you to place bets.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. Be aware of these warning signs:

• Chasing losses by betting more to recover money you've lost
• Hiding your gambling activities or lying about the amount you've spent
• Neglecting family, friends, work, or school due to gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
• Borrowing money to gamble or to pay gambling debts
• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
• Using gambling to escape stress, worry, or other problems
• Experiencing financial difficulties due to gambling
• Losing relationships or opportunities because of gambling

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available.

Self-Help Tools & Controls

Responsible betting apps and operators in the UK provide tools to help you manage your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a daily, weekly, or monthly limit on how much you can deposit into your account
• Loss Limits: Cap the amount of money you're willing to lose during a specific period
• Reality Checks: Receive reminders about how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
• Time Limits: Set session time limits to control how long you gamble at one time
• Self-Exclusion: Exclude yourself from an operator's service for a set period or permanently
• Account Closure: Permanently close your betting account if needed

Use these tools proactively to maintain control and enjoy gambling responsibly.
