Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At Kings Cartridges and Printers, we believe that gambling should only ever be treated as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Casino games are designed with a house edge, which means that over time, the odds favour the casino. Always gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never view it as an investment or income source.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to participate in any casino activities. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and take age verification seriously. By using our affiliated casino partners, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in the United Kingdom.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses by gambling with more money to try to recover what you've lost
- Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Feeling anxious or irritable when trying to reduce gambling
- Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other difficult emotions
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, education, hobbies, or relationships due to gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Lying to others about the extent of your gambling
- Jeopardising personal, educational, or career opportunities
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools
Most UK casinos and betting sites offer responsible gaming tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you are willing to lose during a session or time period
- Reality Checks: Receive pop-up notifications during play to remind you how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
- Session Timers: Set reminders for how long you want to play
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling sites for a set period
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you need to stop gambling entirely
Use these tools proactively as part of your responsible gambling strategy.
