At JackpotJudge, we are fundamentally committed to promoting responsible gambling practices and ensuring that gaming remains a safe, controlled form of entertainment. As an independent casino research platform, we recognise our responsibility to educate users about safe gambling practices and provide comprehensive resources for those who may require support.
We firmly believe that gambling should never result in personal or financial harm. Our mission is to help users make informed decisions about UK online casino operators while promoting awareness of potential risks and available support systems through evidence-based research.
As a casino research and analysis platform, we understand that we play a crucial role in the gambling ecosystem. We are committed to:
Responsible gambling means enjoying gambling as a form of entertainment while maintaining control over the time and money spent. It involves understanding the risks, setting limits, and knowing when to seek professional help.
Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never use money intended for essential expenses like rent, bills, or food.
Decide in advance how much time you'll spend gambling and adhere to it. Use alarms or reminders to help you stay on track.
Accept that losses are part of gambling. Never try to win back money you've lost by gambling more or increasing your stakes.
Step away from gambling regularly to clear your mind and maintain perspective. This helps prevent impulsive decisions.
Treat gambling as entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems.
Never gamble when under the influence of alcohol or drugs, as this impairs judgment and decision-making.
It's important to recognise the early warning signs of problem gambling. If you or someone you know exhibits any of these behaviours, it may be time to seek professional help:
Gambling with money needed for bills, borrowing money to gamble, or hiding financial losses from family and friends.
Spending more time gambling than intended, neglecting work or family responsibilities, or lying about time spent gambling.
Feeling anxious, depressed, or irritable when not gambling, or experiencing mood swings related to wins and losses.
Increasing bet amounts to try to recover losses, or feeling compelled to gamble after a loss.
Being unable to stop gambling despite wanting to, or continuing to gamble despite negative consequences.
Withdrawing from family and friends, or prioritising gambling over social activities and relationships.
All UKGC-licensed casino operators are required to provide players with tools to help manage their gambling. These tools are designed to help you maintain control:
Free national self-exclusion scheme that blocks access to all UKGC-licensed gambling sites for 6 months to 5 years.
Exclude yourself from individual casino sites for periods ranging from 24 hours to permanent exclusion.
Temporary breaks from gambling ranging from 24 hours to 6 weeks, available on most casino platforms.
Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much money you can deposit into your casino account.
Set maximum amounts you're willing to lose over specific time periods to prevent overspending.
Automatically log out after a predetermined amount of time to help manage gambling sessions.
Pop-up reminders that show how long you've been playing and prompt you to consider stopping.
