Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Lamb Crawley, we believe gambling should only ever be viewed as entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Betting sites offer games of chance where the odds always favour the house. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to use any betting site. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register or place bets.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone else, help is available:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Feeling the need to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities from family, friends, or professionals
- Experiencing anxiety, depression, or mood swings related to gambling
- Neglecting work, school, or relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Unable to cut down or stop gambling despite wanting to
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative feelings
- Lying about the extent of gambling activities
Self-Help Tools
Most responsible betting operators offer tools to help you stay in control. These include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a chosen timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose
- Reality Checks: Receive pop-up notifications during your gaming session to remind you how long you've been playing
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently close your account if you need a break from gambling
- Time-Out Periods: Pause your account for a set period without losing access permanently
We strongly encourage you to use these tools if you feel your gambling is becoming problematic.
