Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Candy Clouds UK, we believe that online gaming should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gambling always carries a risk of loss, and you should only ever gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Please gamble responsibly and within your means. If you feel that your gambling is becoming a concern, support and tools are available to help.
Age Verification
Online gambling in the United Kingdom is only permitted for individuals aged 18 years and over. We take age verification seriously and operate strict checks to ensure all players meet the legal age requirement.
If you are under 18, or under the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, you must not use this website or place any bets.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
It's important to recognise the early warning signs of problem gambling. If you find yourself displaying any of the following behaviours, please seek help:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money you've lost
- Gambling with larger amounts of money than intended
- Hiding your gambling activities from friends or family
- Neglecting work, study, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Continuously thinking about gambling or past gaming sessions
- Using gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, or other emotional problems
- Lying about the time or money spent gambling
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
Self-Help Tools & Features
Most reputable online casinos, including those we recommend, offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a daily, weekly, or monthly limit on the amount you can deposit into your account
- Loss Limits: Restrict the amount you can lose during a specific time period
- Betting Limits: Control the maximum stake you can place on individual bets or games
- Session Time Limits: Set reminders or automatic disconnection after a set period of play
- Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications during play to remind you how long you've been gaming
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from an operator's services
We encourage you to use these tools to maintain control and play responsibly.
