Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At The Rosemary, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Betting sites should be enjoyed responsibly and within your means.
If you're struggling with your gambling habits, please know that support is available and seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble in the United Kingdom. All licensed betting sites have a legal obligation to verify your age and identity before allowing you to place bets.
If you're under 18, please do not attempt to register or place bets on any gambling platform.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in your own behaviour, it may indicate a problem with gambling:
- Regularly betting more than you can afford to lose
- Chasing losses by betting more to win back money you've lost
- Spending more time gambling than intended
- Neglecting family, friends, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Hiding your gambling activities or lying about how much you gamble
- Experiencing anxiety, depression, or irritability when not gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or to pay off gambling debts
- Feeling unable to stop or control your gambling
- Using gambling as a way to escape problems or stress
- Having repeated unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
If you've ticked any of these boxes, please reach out for support immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Features
Most reputable betting sites offer tools to help you stay in control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a specified period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Restrict the amount you're willing to lose in a given timeframe
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders of how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic logout times to prevent extended gambling sessions
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently close your account if you need a break from gambling
- Account Closure: Permanently delete your account if you wish to stop gambling altogether
We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gambling habits.
