Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling

At abeaumont.co.uk, we believe gambling should always be a form of entertainment — never a way to earn money, solve financial problems, or escape from everyday life. Gambling involves real risk, and losses are always possible. You should only ever gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never treat gambling as an investment or a source of income.

We encourage all visitors to our website to gamble responsibly, set personal limits, and take regular breaks. If gambling stops being fun, it's time to stop.

Age Verification

Gambling is strictly prohibited for anyone under the age of 18 in the United Kingdom. All operators referenced on this website require users to verify their age and identity before gambling. Underage gambling is a criminal offence in GB.

If you share your device with minors, we strongly recommend using parental control and filtering software (such as Net Nanny, CyberPatrol, or GamBlock) to prevent access to gambling websites.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Ask yourself the following questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to one or more, it may be time to seek support:

• Do you chase losses by gambling more to try to win back money you've lost?
• Do you hide your gambling from family or friends, or lie about how much you spend?
• Do you gamble with money intended for bills, rent, or other essentials?
• Have you borrowed money or sold possessions to fund gambling?
• Do you feel anxious, guilty, or depressed after gambling?
• Do you gamble to escape problems, stress, or negative feelings?
• Have you tried to cut down or stop gambling but been unable to?
• Is gambling affecting your work, studies, or relationships?
• Do you spend more time or money gambling than you originally planned?
• Do you find yourself thinking about gambling constantly?

Self-Help Tools

Most licensed gambling operators offer tools to help you stay in control. We recommend using them proactively:

• Deposit Limits — set a maximum amount you can deposit daily, weekly, or monthly.
• Loss Limits — cap how much you are able to lose within a set period.
• Wagering Limits — restrict the total amount you can bet.
• Session Time Limits — control how long you can play in a single session.
• Reality Checks — receive on-screen reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent.
• Cooling-Off / Time-Out Periods — take a short break from gambling, from 24 hours up to several weeks.
• Self-Exclusion — block yourself from gambling sites for a longer period (6 months, 1 year, or permanently). In Great Britain, you can register with GamStop to self-exclude from all UKGC-licensed online gambling sites in one step.
• Blocking Software — tools such as GamBan or BetBlocker can block access to gambling websites and apps across your devices.
