Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At Cambridge Landscapes, we believe gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. It should never be seen as a way to make money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. Betting carries risk, and there is no guarantee of winning. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In the United Kingdom, you must be 18 years of age or older to gamble legally. If you are under 18, gambling is strictly prohibited. We encourage parents and guardians to discuss the risks of gambling with young people and to use parental controls where available.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop without warning. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities from friends or family
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Lying about the extent of your gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut down or quit gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Gambling with larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
Self-Help Tools
Most responsible gambling sites offer tools to help you stay in control. These include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a set time period (day, week, month)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount of losses you are willing to accept
- Time Limits: Set limits on how long you can gamble in one session
- Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications during your session reminding you how long you have been gambling
- Self-Exclusion: Take a break from gambling by temporarily or permanently excluding yourself from betting sites
We encourage you to use these tools proactively. They are designed to help you maintain control and gamble responsibly.
