Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At advancedmarbleandgranite.co.uk, we believe that gambling — including at crypto casinos — should always be treated as a form of entertainment, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The outcome of every game is determined by chance, and over time the odds always favour the operator. You should only ever gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase winnings or treat gambling as a source of income.

If gambling stops being fun, it is time to stop. Help is free, confidential, and available across Great Britain.

Age Verification — 18+

Under the Gambling Act 2005, it is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to gamble in Great Britain. All licensed operators are required to verify the age and identity of their customers before allowing them to deposit or play.

If you share your computer or devices with anyone under 18, we strongly recommend using parental control and filtering software such as Net Nanny or GamBlock, and never leaving your casino accounts logged in unattended.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. Ask yourself honestly whether any of the following apply to you or someone you care about:

• Chasing losses — gambling more to try to win back money you have lost
• Hiding your gambling from family or friends, or lying about how much you spend
• Gambling with money meant for bills, rent, food, or other essentials
• Borrowing money, selling possessions, or going into debt to fund gambling
• Spending more time or money gambling than you intended
• Feeling anxious, guilty, irritable, or depressed about your gambling
• Neglecting work, studies, or relationships because of gambling
• Using gambling to escape stress, loneliness, or other problems
• Trying and failing to cut down or stop

If you recognise any of these signs, please consider reaching out to one of the support organisations listed below.

Self-Help Tools

All UK Gambling Commission-licensed operators must offer tools to help you stay in control. We encourage you to use them before problems develop:

• Deposit limits — set a maximum amount you can deposit daily, weekly, or monthly.
• Loss limits — cap how much you can lose over a set period.
• Reality checks — on-screen reminders of how long you have been playing and how much you have spent.
• Time-outs — take a short break from gambling, from 24 hours up to several weeks.
• Self-exclusion — block yourself from an operator for a longer period (minimum 6 months). For all UK-licensed online operators at once, register free with GamStop.
• Blocking software — tools such as GamBan or GamBlock can restrict access to gambling sites and apps on your devices.
