Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At Core Construction NW Ltd, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Betting should be fun, affordable, and within your means. If you find yourself gambling more than intended or chasing losses, it's time to seek help.
Age Verification
All users must be 18 years of age or older to access betting services in the United Kingdom. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity and age at any time. If you are under 18, please do not use our affiliate services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please review the following checklist and seek help if you recognise any of these warning signs:
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other negative emotions
- Neglecting work, school, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or accumulating debt to fund gambling
- Experiencing mood swings related to gambling wins and losses
- Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or control gambling
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to feel excitement
- Feeling irritable or anxious when trying to reduce gambling
Self-Help Tools
Responsible betting sites offer tools to help you maintain control. Consider using:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a specified period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose before stopping play
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders during gaming sessions to help you track time and spending
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from betting sites for a set period or indefinitely
- Cooling-Off Period: Take a mandatory break from gambling to reassess your habits
