Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Safe Gambling

At Contract Labour Solutions, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling practices. Gambling should be viewed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all our visitors to gamble within their means and to seek help if they develop problematic gambling habits.

Age Verification

In the United Kingdom, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in gambling activities. If you are under the legal age, please do not access any betting sites or place wagers. It is illegal for operators to provide gambling services to anyone under 18.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be aware of these warning signs:

Chasing losses by gambling more money to recover what you've lost
Gambling with money needed for essentials like rent, bills, or food
Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
Gambling for longer periods than intended
Increasing the amount you bet to achieve the same level of excitement
Lying about the extent of your gambling involvement
Borrowing money to fund gambling
Neglecting work, school, family, or social responsibilities
Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling

Self-Help Tools

Most responsible gambling operators offer tools to help you stay in control:

Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're willing to lose over a given period
Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders about how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from an operator's platform for a set period or indefinitely
Account Closure: Permanently close your betting account if needed
Time Limits: Set automatic session time-outs to limit continuous gambling

We recommend using these tools proactively to maintain a healthy relationship with gambling.
