Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At Bounce Blyth, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only. It should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. If you find yourself gambling beyond your means or for the wrong reasons, please seek help immediately.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble on our website. This is a legal requirement in the United Kingdom. If you are under 18, please do not use this site. Parents and guardians: if you have concerns about a young person's online activity, contact the organisations listed below.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Please be honest with yourself. If you recognise any of the following signs, you may be developing a gambling problem:

• Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding your gambling activity or lying about how much you gamble
• Neglecting work, family, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Experiencing physical symptoms like insomnia or headaches related to gambling

Self-Help Tools

Many online casinos, including those you may find through Bounce Blyth, offer tools to help you stay in control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose
• Session Time Limits: Take regular breaks and limit how long you play
• Reality Checks: Receive reminders during gameplay about how long and how much you've been playing
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling sites

Always use these tools proactively. They are designed to protect you.
