Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Cadence Encours, 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 a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and always set limits before you start playing.
Age Verification
In the United Kingdom, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in gambling activities. By accessing and using this website, you confirm that you meet this legal requirement. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
If you are under 18, please do not use our services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
- Hiding your gambling activity or lying to friends and family about how much you gamble
- Neglecting work, education, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
- Experiencing mood swings or depression linked to gambling outcomes
- Unable to cut back or stop gambling despite wanting to
- Using gambling to escape problems or relieve stress
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Most reputable online casinos offer built-in tools to help you maintain control of your gambling. These include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Restrict the maximum losses you're willing to accept within a given period
- Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders at regular intervals showing how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic time-outs to stop playing after a predetermined duration
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from an individual casino or multiple casinos at once
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you decide to stop gambling altogether
We strongly encourage you to use these tools proactively to manage your gambling activity.
