Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At Coral Betting Sites, we're committed to promoting responsible gambling. Betting should be fun and entertaining — never a way to make money or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and always view it as the cost of entertainment rather than a potential income source.
Age Verification
Gambling is only for adults. In the United Kingdom, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in betting activities. If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not use our affiliated betting sites. We take age verification seriously and all operators we recommend comply with UK gambling regulations.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Recognise these warning signs in yourself or others:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling with more money than planned
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the time and money spent
- Neglecting family, work, or social commitments due to gambling
- Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or other problems
- Borrowing money or getting into debt to fund gambling
- Experiencing mood swings related to gambling outcomes
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
If you recognise any of these signs, seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Most reputable betting operators offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a day, week, or month
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders about how long you've been gambling and money spent
- Time Limits: Restrict how long you can gamble in a single session
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from betting sites
- Account Closure: Close your account if you need to stop gambling
Use these tools proactively. Most betting operators make these features easily accessible in your account settings.
