Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At yourcomedyhypnotist.co.uk, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the cinema or theatre. It should never be considered a way to earn money or solve financial problems.

Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and always set strict limits on how much time and money you spend gambling.

Age Verification

In Great Britain, you must be 18 years of age or older to gamble. We take age verification seriously and verify all players' ages during account registration. Gambling is illegal for under-18s.

If you're under 18, please do not attempt to access any gambling services on our site.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do any of these statements apply to you? If so, you may have a gambling problem:

  • Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
  • Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
  • Hiding your gambling habits from family, friends, or therapists
  • Gambling to escape problems or relieve anxiety and depression
  • Neglecting work, education, or personal relationships due to gambling
  • Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
  • Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop gambling
  • Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut back
  • Lying about the extent of your gambling
  • Risking important relationships, jobs, or opportunities because of gambling

If you recognise any of these signs, help is available. Please reach out to one of the support organisations listed below.

Self-Help Tools

Most reputable online casinos, including those we recommend, offer tools to help you stay in control:

  • Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
  • Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose before you must stop gambling
  • Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
  • Session Timers: Automatic notifications after a set period of time
  • Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling sites for a period you choose
  • Account Closure: Permanently close your account if needed

We encourage you to use these tools proactively. They're designed to help you maintain control and gamble responsibly.
