Pub Casino Responsible Gambling
Pub Casino believes that gambling should always be viewed as entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems. Casino games involve risk, and outcomes are determined by chance. There is no guaranteed strategy for winning, so players should only gamble with money and time they can comfortably afford to lose.
This responsible gambling information explains the safeguards and support options available to Pub Casino customers in the United Kingdom. Please read it carefully and use the available tools whenever they can help you keep gambling enjoyable and within your personal boundaries.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling
Pub Casino is committed to promoting a safe, transparent and controlled gaming environment. Responsible gambling is a shared responsibility between the operator and the player. We provide account features intended to help customers monitor their activity, set personal boundaries and take a break when needed.
We also aim to communicate clearly about the risks associated with gambling. Promotions, game results and account activity should be considered carefully, and no offer or previous result should encourage you to spend more than you planned. Gambling is not a source of income, an investment, or a reliable way to recover losses.
If gambling stops feeling like a leisure activity, or if it begins to affect your finances, relationships, work or wellbeing, it is important to pause and seek assistance. Acting early can make it easier to regain control.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually and may affect people in different ways. Warning signs can include spending more time or money gambling than intended, chasing losses, hiding gambling activity, borrowing money to play, or feeling anxious, guilty or irritable after gambling.
Other indicators may include neglecting work or personal responsibilities, repeatedly trying and failing to reduce gambling, or viewing gambling as a solution to financial pressure. A person does not need to experience every sign before taking action. Even one or two concerns may be a reason to review your habits and use a limit or break.
If someone close to you raises concerns about your gambling, consider their comments carefully. Taking a short pause, discussing the situation with a trusted person and seeking independent advice can provide useful perspective.
Self-Assessment and Limits
Before playing, consider whether gambling fits your current financial and emotional circumstances. Set boundaries while you are calm, rather than after a win, loss or period of frustration. Limits should be realistic and should never be increased simply to continue playing.
- Deposit limits: Set a maximum amount that you can deposit over a chosen period, such as a day, week or month.
- Loss limits: Decide the maximum amount you are prepared to lose and stop gambling when that limit is reached.
- Reality checks: Use reminders to review how long you have been playing and how much activity has taken place.
- Cooling-off periods: Take a temporary break from gambling when you want time away without permanently closing your account.
- Self-exclusion: Request a longer-term restriction that prevents you from using the account for the selected period. Do not attempt to open or use another account during a self-exclusion period.
Review your limits regularly, but avoid changing them impulsively. If you feel unable to maintain a limit, stop playing and seek support rather than removing the safeguard.
Responsible Gaming Tools
Pub Casino provides account controls designed to help customers manage their gambling activity. The exact availability and operation of a feature may depend on the account interface and the type of restriction selected. Players should check their account settings or contact customer support if they need help understanding a control.
- Deposit controls allow you to set or adjust a maximum amount you can deposit within a selected time period.
- Loss and spending controls help you define an overall financial boundary for gambling activity.
- Session and reality-check reminders provide prompts to review the time spent playing and the activity completed.
- Cooling-off options allow you to suspend access temporarily and create distance from gambling.
- Self-exclusion allows you to request a longer restriction from using the Pub Casino account.
- Account history and transaction information help you review deposits, withdrawals, wagers and other relevant activity.
- Support channels are available for questions about account restrictions, safer gambling settings or taking a break.
These tools are intended to support informed decisions, but they cannot replace personal judgment or professional assistance. If you have already decided that you should not gamble, a break or self-exclusion may be more appropriate than relying only on financial limits.
Support and Assistance
If gambling is becoming difficult to control, stop playing and seek professional help. Speaking with a trained adviser can help you understand your behaviour, consider practical steps and identify support that matches your circumstances. You can contact Pub Casino at [email protected] for assistance with account restrictions and responsible gambling settings.
Independent external organisations can also provide confidential information and support. They are not partners of Pub Casino and are not operated by Pub Casino:
- GamCare offers information, guidance and support for people affected by gambling.
- BeGambleAware provides independent information intended to help people understand gambling risks and find support.
- GAMSTOP provides a self-exclusion service for eligible online gambling accounts in the United Kingdom.
The National Gambling Helpline can be reached on 0808 8020 133. It is a free, confidential support service available 24 hours a day for anyone affected by gambling, including family members and friends.
If gambling has contributed to an immediate financial, emotional or personal crisis, contact an appropriate emergency or professional service without delay. You do not need to manage the situation alone.
Underage Gambling
Only individuals aged +18 or older may use the website. Pub Casino does not permit underage gambling and takes age verification seriously. A person must not create an account, deposit funds or play games if they are under the minimum age.
Do not allow anyone else to use your account, including a child or another person who has not completed the required checks. Keep login details private and contact Pub Casino promptly if you believe that an underage person has accessed your account.
If there is a concern that a minor has used the website, stop the activity and contact customer support so the matter can be reviewed. Where appropriate, account access may be restricted while checks are completed.
Parental Controls
Parents and guardians should take practical steps to reduce the risk of children accessing gambling websites. Use device-level parental controls, content filters and safe browsing settings where available. Keep phones, tablets and computers protected with individual passwords and avoid saving gambling account credentials on shared devices.
Parents should also review payment security and ensure that children cannot use saved card details or digital payment accounts without permission. These measures do not replace age verification, but they can provide an additional layer of protection.
Open, age-appropriate conversations about gambling can help children understand that casino games are for adults, involve financial risk and are not a method of earning money. If you suspect that a child has accessed Pub Casino, contact support and take immediate steps to secure the relevant device and payment accounts.
Tips for Staying in Control
The following habits can help keep gambling within reasonable limits:
- Decide your budget before you begin and treat it as entertainment spending, not money that must be recovered.
- Never gamble with money needed for rent, bills, food, travel, debt repayments or other essential expenses.
- Set a time limit and take regular breaks away from the screen.
- Do not chase losses or increase stakes because you believe a win is due.
- Avoid gambling when you are upset, tired, intoxicated or under financial pressure.
- Keep gambling separate from your everyday budget and review your transactions regularly.
- Do not borrow money, sell possessions or use credit to continue gambling.
- Remember that previous results do not predict future outcomes.
- Talk to someone you trust if you notice changes in your mood, spending or behaviour.
- Use a cooling-off period or self-exclusion if normal limits no longer feel effective.
Changes to This Policy
Pub Casino may update this responsible gambling information when its practices, account features or support arrangements change. Any revised version will be made available on the website and will apply from the date it is published, unless a different date is stated.
Players should review this page periodically to remain familiar with the available tools and sources of assistance. The most important principles remain unchanged: gamble only for entertainment, set boundaries before playing, respect those boundaries and seek help promptly if gambling is no longer under control.
