Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Streat PR, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. It's important to remember that casino games should only be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The house always has a mathematical advantage, and you should only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
All casino gaming in the United Kingdom is restricted to individuals aged 18 years or older. If you are under 18, you are legally prohibited from gambling. We take age verification seriously and encourage parents and guardians to discuss responsible gambling with young people in their care.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate problem gambling:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the extent of your gambling
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
- Neglecting family, friends, work, or education due to gambling
- Experiencing mood swings or becoming irritable when unable to gamble
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Feeling a need to gamble with increasingly larger amounts to achieve the same level of excitement
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling
If you've noticed these signs, it's important to seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most reputable online casinos offer self-help tools to support responsible gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specified period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're prepared to lose within a defined timeframe
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic notifications reminding you how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
- Session Time Limits: Automatically log out after a predetermined period of inactivity or gameplay
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from an individual casino or use multi-operator schemes to restrict access across multiple operators
We encourage you to utilise these features as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
