Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At AI Forward, we're committed to promoting responsible gambling practices. Betting should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment that you can afford to lose—never as a way to make money or solve financial problems. If you find yourself betting more than you can comfortably afford or gambling to recover losses, please seek help immediately.

Age Verification

All gambling services are strictly reserved for individuals aged 18 years or older in the United Kingdom. It is illegal for anyone under the legal age to gamble. If you are under 18, please do not use any betting sites.

We encourage parents and guardians to use parental controls and monitoring tools to prevent underage access to gambling websites.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, food, bills)
• Hiding your gambling activities from friends or family
• Spending increasing amounts of time and money on gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble
• Neglecting work, education, or relationships due to gambling
• Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
• Lying about the extent of your gambling
• Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
• Gambling as a way to escape problems or negative emotions

If you recognise any of these signs, please reach out for support immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Most reputable betting sites offer tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given period
• Reality Checks: Receive reminders about how long you've been gambling or how much you've spent
• Session Time Limits: Automatically log you out after a set period of gambling activity
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gambling sites
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you decide to stop gambling

We strongly encourage you to use these tools if you feel your gambling is becoming problematic.
