Responsible Gaming Disclaimer
Gambling should be entertaining and under control. spin-now.org encourages responsible play and supports safer-gambling measures.
You must be 18 or over to gamble in the UK. Only stake what you can afford to lose. Never chase losses or gamble when upset or under the influence. Use the tools offered by licensed operators: deposit limits, time limits, self-exclusion, and reality checks.
If you feel gambling is becoming a problem, seek help. BeGambleAware.org and GamCare provide free support and information. The national self-exclusion scheme GamStop lets you exclude from UK-licensed operators. We link only to licensed sites that offer these tools.
This site is for information only. We are not responsible for your decisions or losses. For support or questions, contact info@spin-now.org.
1. Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling
spin-now.org is committed to promoting responsible gambling. We provide information and links to third-party operators for informational purposes only. We do not operate any gambling or betting services. We believe that gambling should remain a form of entertainment and should never negatively impact your finances, relationships, or wellbeing. This page sets out important information about age restrictions, responsible play, tools and support available to you, and where to get help if you need it.
2. Legal Age and Eligibility
In the United Kingdom, you must be at least 18 years of age to gamble. It is illegal for anyone under 18 to place a bet, use a gaming machine, or participate in any form of licensed gambling. Operators are required to verify your age and identity before allowing you to gamble. We do not permit use of our Site by anyone under 18 for the purpose of accessing gambling-related content. If you are under 18, please leave this site. If you are in a jurisdiction outside the UK, you must comply with the laws of your country; gambling may be restricted or prohibited in some regions.
3. Gambling Should Be Entertainment
Gambling is a form of paid entertainment. You should never treat it as a way to make money or solve financial problems. The odds are designed so that, over time, the operator retains a percentage of stakes. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Set a budget before you start and stick to it. Do not use money that is needed for rent, bills, food, or other essentials. Do not borrow money to gamble. Never chase your losses: if you have lost the amount you set aside, stop. Chasing losses often leads to greater harm and is a sign of problematic gambling.
4. When Not to Gamble
Do not gamble when you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, when you are upset, stressed, or depressed, or when you are trying to escape from problems. Gambling in these circumstances can impair your judgment and lead to decisions you may regret. Take breaks and do not let gambling interfere with work, study, or time with family and friends. If you find it hard to stop when you planned to, or if gambling is affecting your mood or relationships, these may be warning signs that you need to reassess your behaviour or seek help.
5. Tools Offered by Licensed Operators
Licensed UK operators are required to offer a range of safer-gambling tools. These typically include: Deposit limits — you can set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit; Time limits — you can limit the time you spend on the site; Reality checks — periodic reminders of how long you have been playing and how much you have spent; Self-exclusion — you can exclude yourself from a single operator or, via GamStop, from all UK-licensed operators for a chosen period (e.g. six months, one year, or five years). We encourage you to use these tools. They are designed to help you stay in control. We only link to operators that we believe offer robust responsible-gambling and player-protection measures.
6. GamStop and Self-Exclusion
GamStop is the free national self-exclusion scheme for the UK. Once you register with GamStop, you will be excluded from all gambling sites and apps operated by companies licensed by the UK Gambling Commission for the period you choose. This is a serious step and is designed for people who want to take a break or stop gambling entirely. Registration is free and can be done online at gamstop.co.uk. Once you have self-excluded, you should not attempt to open new accounts or gamble with UK-licensed operators during your exclusion period. If you think you have a gambling problem, self-exclusion can be an important part of regaining control.
7. Getting Help and Support
If you feel that gambling is ceasing to be fun, or that it is having a negative impact on your life, free and confidential help is available. BeGambleAware.org provides information, advice, and support 24/7. You can also call the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133 (free from UK landlines and mobiles). GamCare offers free support, counselling, and treatment for anyone affected by problem gambling. Gamblers Anonymous runs support groups for people who want to stop gambling. GamAnon supports family and friends of problem gamblers. We strongly encourage anyone who is struggling to reach out. Problem gambling is treatable, and many people recover with the right support.
8. Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Warning signs can include: spending more money or time on gambling than you intended; lying to others about how much you gamble; borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble; feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when you try to cut down or stop; gambling to escape problems or to feel better; and neglecting work, relationships, or other interests because of gambling. If you recognise these signs in yourself or someone close to you, it is important to take action. The sooner you seek help, the easier it is to address the issue. There is no shame in asking for support.
