Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At emilytan.co.uk, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Live casino gaming carries real financial risk, and it's important to gamble only with money you can afford to lose.

We encourage all our visitors to gamble responsibly and within their means. If you're unsure whether gambling is right for you, please take time to consider the information below.

Age Verification

All gambling in the UK is strictly regulated. You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble legally.

If you are under 18, or under the legal gambling age in your country of residence, you must not access any gambling services. Parents and guardians should be aware that there are tools available to restrict access to gambling websites.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

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

• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount spent
• Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities because of gambling
• Experiencing mood changes or irritability when unable to gamble
• Feeling anxious or stressed about gambling debts
• Borrowing money to fund gambling
• Using gambling as an escape from problems or emotional distress
• Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
• Experiencing financial hardship due to gambling

If you've noticed any of these signs, please reach out to one of the support organisations listed below.
