Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Best Handyman Crowe, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the cinema or playing sports. It should never be considered as a way to earn money or solve financial problems.
Crypto casinos, like all gambling activities, carry financial risk. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses or bet more than you intended.
Age Verification
Online gambling in the United Kingdom is only legal for individuals aged 18 years or older. We take age verification seriously and require all players to confirm they meet the legal age requirement before accessing any gambling services.
If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register or participate in any gambling activities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Spending more money on gambling than you can afford to lose
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Lying to friends or family about your gambling habits or spending
- Neglecting work, school, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Experiencing anxiety or mood swings related to gambling outcomes
- Finding it difficult to control or stop gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Feeling irritable when attempting to reduce gambling
- Gambling with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
Self-Help Tools & Player Protection
Most reputable crypto casinos and gambling platforms offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe
- Loss Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you can lose during a gaming session
- Session Time Limits: Automatically log you out after a set period of play
- Reality Checks: Regular reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling sites for a period of time
Always review the responsible gaming options available on your chosen platform and utilise these tools to maintain healthy gambling habits.
