Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Financial Strategy

At kissenavelodrome.org, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, with money you can afford to lose. It is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means and set limits before you start playing.

Age Verification

In the United Kingdom, you must be 18 years of age or older to gamble legally. If you are under 18, please do not access any betting or gaming services. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.

Parents and guardians: If you're concerned about a young person's gambling, please seek advice from the organisations listed below.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know? Problem gambling can develop gradually. Early recognition is important.

• Chasing losses by gambling more to try to win money back
• Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount spent
• Neglecting family, friends, work, or education due to gambling
• Experiencing mood swings related to gambling wins or losses
• Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
• Borrowing money to fund gambling
• Increasing the amount wagered to feel the same excitement
• Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions

If you've ticked any of these boxes, please reach out for support immediately.

Most licensed UK betting sites offer built-in tools to help you stay in control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a cap on how much you're willing to lose in a given period
• Reality Checks: Pop-up reminders during play to help you track time and spending
• Session Timers: Automatic notifications when you've been playing for a certain duration
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently close your account to prevent access to betting sites
