Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

We believe gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you're gambling to make money or to recover losses, please stop and seek help immediately.

At wirraleyquality.co.uk, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Please 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 gamble in the UK. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under 18, please do not use our services.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do you recognise any of the following? If so, you may have a gambling problem:

• Constantly thinking about gambling or past gambling experiences
• Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same level of excitement
• Attempting to cut back or stop gambling but being unable to do so
• Feeling restless or irritable when trying to reduce gambling
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Lying to family, friends, or others about the extent of your gambling
• Hiding evidence of gambling activities
• Jeopardising relationships, education, or career due to gambling
• Relying on others to bail you out financially from gambling debts
• Using gambling as a way to escape problems or relieve negative emotions

If you tick more than one box, please seek support immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Limits

Most responsible online gambling platforms offer tools to help you stay in control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly).
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you're willing to lose in a given period.
• Betting Limits: Control the maximum stake per bet.
• Reality Checks: Receive reminders during gambling sessions about how long you've been playing.
• Time-Out/Cool-Off Periods: Take a break from gambling for a set period (typically 6 months or less).
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling for an extended period (typically 6 months or longer).

Ask your operator about these tools or contact GamStop (see below) for national self-exclusion across multiple operators.
