Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At Harland Builders, 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. Betting sites should be enjoyed responsibly and within your means. If you find yourself gambling more than intended or chasing losses, please seek help immediately.

Age Verification

All users must be 18 years of age or older to access betting sites in the United Kingdom. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and protecting young people. If you are under 18, please do not use any betting services.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do you recognise any of the following warning signs in your own behaviour? If so, it may be time to seek support.

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about how much you gamble
• Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, bills, food)
• Neglecting family, friends, work, or studies due to gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut back
• Gambling for longer periods than intended
• Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
• Feeling that gambling is the only way to cope with stress or problems
• Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
• Experiencing mood swings related to gambling wins and losses

Self-Help Tools and Responsible Gaming Features

Most reputable betting sites offer tools to help you gamble responsibly. Take advantage of these features:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Restrict the amount of money you can lose during a set period
• Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you have been gambling
• Time-Out: Take a temporary break from gambling for a set period (hours or days)
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from a betting site for a longer period (weeks, months, or years)

If a single betting site's self-exclusion is not enough, consider using GamStop to self-exclude from all UK-licensed operators simultaneously.
