Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At Brightling Park, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. 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 use our services. 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 gamble.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in your behaviour, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
- Spending more time and money gambling than intended
- Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or colleagues
- Experiencing anxiety, depression, or mood swings related to gambling
- Neglecting work, education, relationships, or hobbies due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Unable to cut down or stop gambling despite wanting to
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Lying about the extent of your gambling activities
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control. These may include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you are willing to lose in a given period
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders of how long you have been playing and how much you have spent
- Time-Out: Take a break from gambling for a set period (hours, days, or weeks)
- Self-Exclusion: Exclude yourself from gambling for an extended period (typically 6 months to 5 years)
We encourage you to use these tools to manage your gambling responsibly.
