Responsible Gaming

Introduction to Responsible Gaming

At Bris Co Rentals, we believe that casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While online gaming can be fun and exciting, it's important to approach it with a responsible mindset and set personal limits to ensure it remains enjoyable.

Please remember: the house always has an edge, and outcomes are determined by chance. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.

Age Verification

Gambling is strictly for those aged 18 years and over in the United Kingdom. It is your responsibility to ensure you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction before engaging in any gambling activities.

By accessing any non-GamStop casino or gaming platform, you confirm that you are of legal gambling age and comply with all applicable laws in your country.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available:

• Chasing losses: Trying to recover losses by gambling more frequently or with larger stakes
• Hiding gambling activity: Concealing gambling from family, friends, or partners
• Gambling with borrowed money: Using loans, credit cards, or other people's money to fund gambling
• Loss of control: Inability to stick to predetermined time or money limits
• Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, family commitments, or personal obligations due to gambling
• Increasing stakes: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same level of excitement
• Irritability when not gambling: Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
• Failed attempts to stop: Repeated unsuccessful efforts to reduce or quit gambling
• Gambling to escape problems: Using gambling as a way to cope with stress, depression, or anxiety
• Financial difficulties: Experiencing money problems linked to gambling activity

Self-Help Tools & Controls

Responsible gaming platforms offer various tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Restrict the total amount you're willing to lose before taking a break
• Time Limits: Set alarms or notifications to remind you how long you've been gambling
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about your gaming activity and current balance
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from access to gaming accounts and websites
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely

Most reputable casinos provide these tools as standard features. Always review a casino's responsible gaming policy before signing up.
