Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At Verywell Casino, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. It is important to understand that gambling is not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Like any form of entertainment, it carries financial risk and should only be undertaken with money you can afford to lose.
We are committed to promoting responsible gaming and supporting our players in making informed choices about their gambling activity.
Age Verification
Gambling is only for adults. In the UK, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in any gambling activities. Teachersweb.co.uk and all affiliated operators verify the age of all players before allowing access to gambling services.
If you are under 18, please do not gamble. Parents and guardians should be aware of the risks and monitor young people's online activity.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognize any of the following signs in your own behaviour, it may be time to seek help:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying to friends and family about how much you gamble
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
- Neglecting work, education, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling
- Failed attempts to reduce or control gambling
- Feeling that others are criticizing your gambling
If you recognize any of these signs, please reach out for support immediately.
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable operators, including those affiliated with Verywell Casino, offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly).
- Loss Limits: Restrict the amount of money you are willing to lose during a gambling session.
- Session Time Limits: Set reminders or automatic logout features to limit the time spent gambling.
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic notifications during gameplay to remind you of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent.
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling services for a set period. This is a powerful tool that prevents access to your account.
If your chosen operator does not offer these tools, consider using GamStop, the UK's national self-exclusion scheme, which blocks access to all licensed online gambling services.
