reliable, fully licensed, regulated and monitored by third party
gambling organizations. Gambling is an exciting adult leisure pursuit and we want our site visitors to enjoy betting
and gaming at the casino sites we recommend.
We are committed to providing our visitors with an efficient, secure, fair and socially responsible gambling websites.
Under Age Gambling
Gambling whilst under the age of 18 is a criminal offence and we take our responsibilities to prevent access by
under-18s very seriously indeed. Appropriate age verification checks are carried out across all gambling websites that
you may find on CasinoSTOP.co.uk
Daily And Weekly Deposit Limits
Most alternative payment processors and online casinos provide players with
facilities to limit the amount of money that they are able to deposit online into their casino account on either
a daily or a weekly basis. These amounts may be revised downwards at any time but any increase will only be implemented after
24 hours following the request. Set your own limits, that's your stop loss
order!
Keeping Control
Whilst the majority of people do gamble within their means, for some people gambling can become a problem. It may help you to keep
control to remember the following:
- Gambling should be entertaining, not a way of making money.
- Avoid chasing losses, know your limits.
- Only gamble what you can afford to lose.
- Keep track of the time and amount you spend.
- have a break from gambling from time to time.
- If you need to talk to someone about problem gambling then contact
GamCare or
Gambling Therapy.
