At Whippet for Care, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be an entertaining pastime, not a source of financial hardship or personal distress. This page provides essential information to help you gamble safely and recognise when help may be needed.
Responsible gaming means gambling within your means, understanding the odds, and maintaining control over your gaming activity. It involves:
Responsible gaming protects your wellbeing and ensures that your gaming experience remains enjoyable and within your control.
It is important to recognise the early warning signs of problem gambling. If you notice any of the following, please reach out for support:
If any of these signs resonate with you, help is available, and seeking support is a sign of strength.
Self-exclusion allows you to voluntarily restrict your access to gambling services. Most reputable online casinos offer self-exclusion options that can last from weeks to years. When you self-exclude, you will be unable to create new accounts or access existing ones during your exclusion period.
Additionally, you can register with Gamstop, a national self-exclusion scheme in Great Britain that prevents you from accessing all online gambling operators simultaneously for a minimum of six months.
Setting deposit limits is one of the most effective tools for responsible gaming. Most licensed casinos allow you to set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on your account. Once a limit is set, you cannot exceed it during that period, protecting you from overspending.
We strongly recommend setting a deposit limit before you begin playing. This limit should reflect an amount you can afford to lose without impacting your financial security or wellbeing.
All gambling services featured on Whippet for Care are strictly for those aged 18 years and over. We are committed to preventing underage gambling. All registered operators conduct thorough age verification checks during account registration and may conduct additional checks at withdrawal.
If you are under 18, please do not attempt to access gambling services. Parents and guardians should use parental controls and monitoring software to restrict access to gambling websites on shared devices.
