Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At chichesterandharbourindependents.org, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as entertainment – never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Crypto casino games are games of chance with a built-in house edge. While winning is possible, the odds always favour the house in the long run.
Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Our crypto casino is strictly for players aged 18 years or over (or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction). We are committed to preventing access by minors and comply with all UK gambling regulations.
By accessing our site, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and legally permitted to gamble in your country of residence.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Gambling with larger amounts or for longer periods than intended
- Repeatedly trying to cut back or stop gambling without success
- Chasing losses – gambling more to try to recover lost money
- Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Borrowing money or getting into debt to gamble
- Neglecting work, school, family, or social responsibilities
- Experiencing irritability or anxiety when unable to gamble
- Failed attempts to control, reduce, or stop gambling
- Lying about the extent of your gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Limits
Most reputable crypto casinos offer responsible gaming tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Loss Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you can lose in a given timeframe
- Session Limits: Set time restrictions for your gaming sessions
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling for a set period (weeks, months, or years)
- Account Closure: Permanently close your gaming account
Use these tools proactively to manage your gambling behaviour and maintain control.
