Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
1. Gambling as Entertainment
At Harriers Solutions, we believe gambling should be enjoyed purely as entertainment. Betting should never be viewed as a way to earn money, solve financial problems, or generate income. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and always set aside funds for essential expenses such as rent, bills, and savings before considering any betting activity.
2. Age Verification
All UK betting operators are required to verify that users are at least 18 years of age before permitting access to gambling services. If you are under 18, you are legally prohibited from gambling in the United Kingdom. It is illegal for operators to provide gambling services to minors.
3. Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses
- Experiencing anxiety, irritability, or mood swings related to gambling
- Neglecting work, school, hobbies, or relationships due to gambling
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to feel excitement
- Failed attempts to cut down or control your gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Feeling that gambling is your only escape from problems
4. Self-Help Tools and Responsible Gambling Features
Most reputable UK betting sites offer the following tools to help you gamble responsibly:
- Deposit Limits: Set maximum amounts you can deposit within a specified period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount of money you're willing to lose during a given timeframe
- Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders during your gaming session showing how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
- Session Time Limits: Automatically log out after a predetermined period
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from an operator's services
- Account Closures: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling
Take advantage of these tools—they are designed to help you maintain control over your gambling habits.
