As a licensed operator regulated by the UK Gambling Commission, we are fully committed to promoting responsible gaming and providing you with the tools and support necessary to keep your gambling safe and under control.

Recognising the Warning Signs
Gambling should always be an enjoyable pastime. However, if you notice any of the following signs, it may indicate that your gambling behaviour is becoming problematic:
- Gambling to recover previous losses (chasing losses)
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
- Spending more time or money than intended
- Neglecting work, education, or family responsibilities
- Experiencing arguments or conflicts related to gambling
- Using money needed for essential living expenses
- Constantly thinking about gambling or planning the next session
If you recognise any of these behaviours in yourself or someone you care about, we encourage you to take immediate steps to seek help.
Tips for Safer Gambling
To maintain a healthy relationship with gambling, please consider the following guidelines:
- Set a budget before you start playing and stick to it.
- Treat gambling as entertainment, not a way to make money.
- Avoid chasing losses or trying to win back money you have lost.
- Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.
- Take regular breaks and avoid long gaming sessions.
- Balance gambling with other social activities and interests.
- Do not gamble when feeling stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- Use only disposable income, never money needed for essentials such as rent, bills, or food.
Self-Assessment and Support
If you are unsure about your gambling habits, we encourage you to complete our anonymous self-assessment quiz available within your mrGreen account. This tool helps you evaluate your behaviour and identify potential risks.
For personalised advice and support, our dedicated Responsible Gambling Team is available 24/7 via [email protected] or through our Live Chat service on the website. We are here to assist you with any concerns or questions you may have.
