Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At Adorn Makers, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling practices. Gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems. The odds are always in favour of the house, and losses should be treated as the cost of entertainment, much like going to the cinema or theatre.
We encourage all players to gamble within their means and to never bet more than they can afford to lose. If you find yourself gambling to recover losses or to chase winnings, please seek help immediately.
Age Verification
All gambling operators in the United Kingdom must verify that players are at least 18 years of age before allowing participation. It is illegal for anyone under 18 to gamble in the UK.
If you are under the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction, please do not attempt to access gambling services. Parents and guardians are encouraged to speak with young people about the risks associated with gambling.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please review the following checklist. If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount spent
- Experiencing mood changes (anxiety, irritability, or depression) related to gambling
- Neglecting family, work, education, or other important responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or getting into debt to fund gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- Feeling the need to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same level of excitement
- Relationships suffering due to gambling behaviour
- Using gambling as an escape from stress, anxiety, or personal problems
If you have identified with several of these signs, please consider reaching out to a support organisation listed below.
Self-Help Tools and Player Protection
Most reputable betting sites offer built-in tools to help you maintain control of your gambling. These include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly).
- Loss Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you are willing to lose over a set period.
- Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications reminding you how long you have been gambling and how much you have spent.
- Time-Out: Take a break from gambling for a period of time whilst remaining able to access your account.
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling for a set period. Your account will be closed and you will be unable to place bets.
We strongly encourage all players to make use of these tools. Setting limits before you start gambling helps ensure you remain in control.
