Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling

At redandgreenschool.org, we believe gambling should always be a form of entertainment — never a way to earn money, solve financial problems, or escape from everyday life. Betting involves real risk, and the outcome is never guaranteed. Please only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase your losses.

This page provides information, tools, and support resources to help you stay in control of your gambling in 2026 and beyond.

Age Verification — 18+ Only

In Great Britain, it is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to gamble. All licensed operators featured on this website are required to verify the age and identity of their customers before allowing them to deposit or play.

You must be 18 years or older to use any gambling services advertised on this site.

If you share your device with minors, we strongly recommend using parental control software such as Net Nanny or GamBlock, and never sharing your account details or passwords.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. Ask yourself honestly whether any of the following apply to you or someone you know:

• Chasing losses — gambling more to try to win back money you've lost
• Hiding your gambling from family, friends, or colleagues
• Spending more money or time gambling than you intended
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
• Neglecting work, studies, relationships, or responsibilities because of gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut down or stop
• Gambling to escape stress, depression, or other problems
• Lying about how much you gamble or how much you've lost
• Needing to gamble with larger amounts to feel the same excitement
• Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself, it may be time to seek support. Reaching out early makes a real difference.

Self-Help Tools

All UK-licensed gambling operators must offer player protection tools. We encourage you to use them proactively:

• Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on how much you can deposit.
• Loss Limits: Restrict how much you can lose over a set period.
• Session / Time Limits: Control how long you can play in a single session.
• Reality Checks: Receive on-screen reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent.
• Time-Outs: Take a short break from gambling, from 24 hours up to several weeks.
• Self-Exclusion: Block yourself from gambling entirely for a longer period. For all UK-licensed online operators at once, register with GamStop — it's free.

Practical tips: set a budget before you play, never gamble when upset or under the influence of alcohol, and treat any winnings as a bonus — never as income.
