Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At bunsout.co.uk, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.

If you find yourself gambling more than intended or experiencing negative consequences, help is available.

Age Verification

In the United Kingdom, you must be 18 years of age or older to gamble legally. All users must verify their age during registration. We take underage gambling prevention seriously and conduct age verification checks.

If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register or access our site.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Please be aware of these potential signs that your gambling may be becoming problematic:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activity or lying to friends and family about how much you gamble
• Spending more time and money gambling than planned
• Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
• Experiencing mood swings or depression related to gambling
• Failed attempts to reduce or control gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
• Risking important relationships or opportunities due to gambling

If you recognize any of these signs in your own behaviour, it is important to seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Controls

Most reputable online gambling operators provide tools to help you maintain control. These include:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose in a given period
• Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders during gaming sessions to check how long you've been playing
• Session Limits: Set a maximum duration for your gaming sessions
• Self-Exclusion: Exclude yourself from gambling for a set period, preventing access to your account
• Account Closure: Close your account permanently if you choose to stop gambling

We encourage you to use these tools proactively, even if you currently feel in control of your gambling.
