Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At windowcleaningtonbridge.com, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the cinema or watching a sporting event. It should never be considered as a way to earn money or solve financial problems.
When you play at any casino, please remember that the house always has a mathematical advantage. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses or bet more than you intended.
Age Verification
Gambling is only legal for individuals aged 18 years and over in Great Britain, or the legal age in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher.
If you are under the legal gambling age in your country, you must not use casino services. If you are aware of anyone underage gambling, please report it to the relevant authorities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop without you realizing it. Please be aware of the following warning signs:
- Chasing Losses: Attempting to recover lost money by gambling more
- Hiding Gambling: Concealing the extent of your gambling from family or friends
- Loss of Control: Gambling for longer or with more money than intended
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gambling
- Financial Problems: Borrowing money, using credit cards, or getting into debt to fund gambling
- Mood Changes: Becoming anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
- Tolerance: Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money for the same excitement
- Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
- Escapism: Using gambling to escape from problems, stress, or negative emotions
If you recognize any of these signs in your own behaviour, please seek help immediately.

- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
