Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At peaklandscapedesign.co.uk, we believe that casino gaming should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Like any form of entertainment, it should only be enjoyed with money you can afford to lose.
We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting players who may be experiencing difficulties.
Age Verification
All players must be at least 18 years old or the legal gambling age in their jurisdiction to use casino services. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
If you are under 18, you must not gamble.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Please be aware of the following signs that may indicate problem gambling:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Neglecting family, friends, work, or education due to gambling
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount spent
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Borrowing money to gamble or continuing to gamble despite financial hardship
- Experiencing relationship problems due to gambling
- Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- Experiencing withdrawal-like symptoms when not gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools
Most casino operators provide tools to help you maintain control of your gaming. These include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a day, week, or month
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose in a given period
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders of how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered
- Time-Out: Take a temporary break from gambling for a set period (hours or days)
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling for a specified period (typically 6 months to 5 years)
We recommend using these tools proactively to help manage your gaming activity.
