Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At cgsecurity.co.uk, we believe gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the cinema or attending a sporting event. It should never be considered as a way to earn money, solve financial problems, or generate income.

While we provide access to betting opportunities, it is your responsibility to gamble within your means and maintain control. Only wager money you can afford to lose, and always prioritise your wellbeing over the possibility of winning.

Age Verification

In the United Kingdom, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in gambling activities, including sports betting and casino games.

All operators we affiliate with are required by law to verify your age before allowing access to betting platforms. If you are under 18, or unsure of the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, please do not attempt to gamble.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:

• Chasing losses: Attempting to recover lost money by gambling more
• Loss of control: Unable to stick to predetermined betting limits
• Hiding gambling activity: Concealing the extent of your gambling from friends or family
• Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or social commitments due to gambling
• Borrowing money: Taking loans or using credit to fund gambling
• Mood swings: Becoming anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble
• Escalating stakes: Needing to bet larger amounts to achieve the same level of excitement
• Failed attempts to stop: Making unsuccessful efforts to reduce or quit gambling
• Relationship conflicts: Arguments with loved ones about gambling habits
• Financial difficulties: Struggling with bills or debts due to gambling expenditure

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gambling Features

Most licensed betting operators provide tools to help you maintain control. These include:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Restrict the amount of money you can lose during a defined period
• Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders during gambling sessions to help you stay aware of time and money spent
• Session Time Limits: Automatically log you out after a set duration
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from a single operator for a period ranging from weeks to years
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling

We strongly encourage you to use these tools proactively, regardless of whether you feel you have a problem.
