Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At brighton-ed.com, we believe gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. It is never a reliable way to make money or solve financial problems. Always gamble with money you can afford to lose, and remember that the house always has a mathematical advantage over time.
Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to access gambling services. In the United Kingdom, the legal age for gambling is 18 years old. We take age verification seriously and comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
If you are under the legal age, please do not gamble. If you believe a minor has accessed gambling services, please report it immediately to the relevant authorities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Please be honest with yourself. If you experience any of the following, you may have a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses: Gambling more to try to recover money you have lost
- Hiding gambling: Concealing the extent of your gambling from family, friends, or healthcare providers
- Loss of control: Being unable to stop gambling or stick to predetermined limits
- Increasing stakes: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family obligations due to gambling
- Financial problems: Borrowing money, using credit, or going into debt to gamble
- Mood changes: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when unable to gamble
- Continued gambling despite harm: Continuing to gamble despite negative consequences to your life
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut back: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce gambling activity
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable casinos offer tools to help you manage your gambling responsibly:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you are willing to lose before you must stop gambling
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you have been gambling and how much you have spent
- Time Limits: Set a maximum duration for your gaming sessions
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily ban yourself from accessing gambling services for a set period (days, weeks, months, or years)
