Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Good Days Counselling, we believe that casino gaming should be enjoyed purely as a form of entertainment. It should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. Casino games are designed with a mathematical edge in favour of the house, meaning that over time, players are more likely to lose than win.
Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In the United Kingdom, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in casino gaming. We take age verification seriously and comply with all UK gambling regulations. If you are under 18, please do not use our affiliated casino services.
By accessing casino services through our site, you confirm that you are of legal age in your jurisdiction.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate problem gambling:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
- Lying to family, friends, or counsellors about the extent of your gambling
- Neglecting work, school, family, or other important responsibilities due to gambling
- Using gambling as an escape from stress, anxiety, depression, or personal problems
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling activities
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to reduce or stop gambling
- Experiencing relationship problems because of gambling
- Hiding gambling activities or keeping it secret from loved ones
- Feeling a loss of control over your gambling behaviour
If you experience any of these warning signs, please seek support immediately.
Self-Help Tools
Many responsible casinos offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly).
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose in a given period.
- Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders during gaming sessions to check how long you've been playing and how much you've spent.
- Time Limits: Set a maximum duration for your gaming sessions.
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from casino services for a defined period, ranging from days to years.
- Account Restrictions: Reduce your betting limits or disable certain game categories.
Always use these tools proactively to protect your well-being.
