Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At point-agape.org, we believe that casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you're gambling to make money or recover losses, you may be at risk of developing a gambling problem.
Please gamble responsibly and within your means. Set a budget you can afford to lose before you play, and stick to it.
Age Verification
Our service is available only to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction). We take age verification seriously and comply with all UK Gambling Commission regulations.
If you are under the legal age for gambling in Great Britain, you are not permitted to use our services. Parents and guardians are encouraged to discuss the risks of gambling with young people.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do you recognise any of these warning signs in your own behaviour?
- Chasing losses: Gambling more to try to recover money you've lost
- Hiding your gambling: Being secretive about the time or money spent gambling
- Loss of control: Gambling longer or with more money than intended
- Neglecting responsibilities: Gambling instead of work, family, or personal duties
- Financial difficulties: Borrowing money to gamble or gambling with money needed for essentials
- Mood changes: Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
- Tolerance: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to get the same excitement
- Failed attempts to stop: Unsuccessful efforts to cut down or quit gambling
- Relationship problems: Arguments with family or friends about your gambling
If you recognise any of these signs, please seek help immediately. Help is available, and recovery is possible.
Self-Help Tools
Most responsible casino operators, including our affiliate partners, offer the following tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a day, week, or month
- Loss Limits: Restrict the amount you can lose during a specified period
- Betting Limits: Cap the size of individual bets you can place
- Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications reminding you how long you've been playing
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently block yourself from accessing gambling accounts
- Time-Out: Take a break from gambling for a set period
We encourage all players to use these tools. Ask your casino operator for assistance in setting up these controls.
