Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Care Connect Wirral, we believe that cryptocurrency casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Like any form of entertainment, it should only involve money you can afford to lose.
Please gamble responsibly and within your means. If you feel your gaming is becoming a concern, support is available.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction) to access and use cryptocurrency casinos. We are committed to preventing underage gambling.
If you are under the legal age in your country, you must not use any casino services. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental controls and monitoring software to protect younger users.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Please be aware of these warning signs that may indicate problem gambling:
- Chasing Losses: Attempting to recover lost money by gambling more frequently or with larger stakes
- Hiding Gambling Activity: Concealing the extent of your gambling from family, friends, or partners
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gambling
- Spending More Than Intended: Regularly gambling longer or with more money than planned
- Using Gambling to Escape: Turning to gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, or other emotions
- Borrowing Money to Gamble: Taking loans or using credit to fund gambling activities
- Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
- Withdrawal Symptoms: Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
- Lying About Gambling: Dishonesty regarding time and money spent on gambling
- Financial Difficulties: Experiencing money problems directly related to gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please reach out for help.
