Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At The Hottin Roofs, we believe that gambling should only ever be enjoyed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Casino games are based on chance, and the odds always favour the house. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses by gambling more than you planned.

Age Verification

Gambling is strictly for those aged 18 years and over in Great Britain. It is illegal to gamble if you are under the legal age. By accessing and using casino sites via our links, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and of legal age to gamble in your jurisdiction.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following warning signs, you may be developing a gambling problem. Please seek help immediately:

• Chasing losses by gambling more money to try to win back what you've lost
• Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
• Gambling with money intended for bills, rent, or other essential expenses
• Spending more time or money on gambling than you intended
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
• Borrowing money to fund gambling
• Unable to cut down or stop gambling despite trying
• Neglecting work, school, or personal relationships due to gambling
• Lying about the extent of your gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you stay in control of your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a set period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose before you stop playing
• Reality Checks: Receive regular pop-up reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
• Session Limits: Set a time limit for your gaming sessions
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from casino accounts for a period you choose
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if needed

We encourage you to make use of these tools when registering and playing at any online casino.
