Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At Britsino (screen22.co.uk), we believe gambling should only ever be enjoyed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
If you're not sure whether your gambling is still fun, or if it's starting to feel like a problem, we encourage you to read the information below and reach out for support.
Age Verification
In the United Kingdom, you must be 18 years of age or older to gamble legally. Britsino has strict age verification procedures in place to ensure all users meet this requirement.
If you are under 18, please do not attempt to create an account or gamble on our site. We take this responsibility seriously.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do any of these signs apply to you? If so, consider reaching out for help:
- Chasing losses by gambling with more money to try to win back what you've lost
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose (bills, rent, essentials)
- Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Lying about how much time or money you spend gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to get the same excitement
- Neglecting work, school, family, or hobbies due to gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or cope with difficult emotions
- Borrowing money to gamble, or gambling with borrowed funds
- Others have expressed concern about your gambling habits
If you recognise any of these patterns in your behaviour, please seek help immediately. Problem gambling is a treatable condition.
