Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At cyautos.co.uk, we believe gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Casino games are games of chance, and the house always has a mathematical advantage. Please only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
By accessing our website and participating in any gambling activities, you confirm that you are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction). In the United Kingdom, the legal age for gambling is 18 years old.
We take underage gambling very seriously and implement strict age verification procedures. If you are under the legal age, please do not access gambling services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
- Hiding gambling: Keeping your gambling activity secret from family and friends
- Increasing stakes: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gambling
- Gambling with borrowed money: Using credit cards, loans, or money meant for bills
- Mood swings: Becoming irritable or anxious when unable to gamble
- Failed attempts to stop: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
- Financial problems: Experiencing debt or financial difficulties related to gambling
- Lying about gambling: Deceiving others about the amount of time or money spent gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools
Most online casinos offer built-in tools to help you manage your gambling. These include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount of losses you are willing to accept
- Spending Limits: Control how much money you spend on gambling activities
- Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications about how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
- Time-Out (Cooling Off Period): Take a voluntary break from gambling for a set period
- Self-Exclusion: Permanently or temporarily exclude yourself from accessing gambling services
We encourage all players to use these tools proactively. Speaking to your casino provider about setting limits is a responsible first step.
