Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Your Wellbeing
At exetercathedral.co.uk, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We are committed to promoting safe and responsible gaming practices for all our users.
Remember: the house always has an edge. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.
Age Verification
In the United Kingdom, all gambling activities are restricted to individuals aged 18 years and over. It is illegal for anyone under this age to participate in gambling or betting activities.
By accessing our website and using our services, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and meet all legal requirements in your jurisdiction to gamble.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of these warning signs in yourself or someone else, please seek help immediately:
- Chasing losses by gambling more money to recover what you've lost
- Hiding your gambling activities or lying about the amount you spend
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you cannot gamble
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Experiencing financial difficulties related to gambling
- Using gambling as an escape from stress, anxiety, or depression
- Failed attempts to reduce or control gambling
- Continuing to gamble despite negative consequences
Self-Help Tools
If you want to maintain control of your gambling, most reputable betting operators offer the following tools:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose over a specific period
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
- Time-Out: Take a break from gambling for a set period without closing your account permanently
- Self-Exclusion: Exclude yourself from gambling for an extended period (typically 6 months to several years)
We recommend using these tools proactively as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
