Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At Burford Distilling, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling is never a way to make money or solve financial problems. Always gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never view it as a source of income.
We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices across all our affiliate partners and encourage all players to gamble responsibly.
Age Verification
Online gambling in the United Kingdom is only permitted for individuals aged 18 years or over. It is your responsibility to ensure you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction before participating in any gambling activities.
If you are under 18, or if you are visiting from a jurisdiction where gambling is restricted or illegal, we urge you not to use any gambling services. All affiliated casinos on our platform conduct strict age verification checks.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognize any of the following signs, please seek help immediately:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, utilities)
- Hiding gambling activity or lying to friends and family about your gambling habits
- Increasing amounts of time or money spent on gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Failed attempts to reduce or control gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Borrowing money to finance gambling
- Relationships suffering due to gambling behavior
- Neglecting work, study, or personal responsibilities
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available.
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Reputable online casinos provide tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose during a gambling session
- Spending Limits: Control the amount you spend on individual bets or total wagers
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders during extended gaming sessions to check how long and how much you've been playing
- Time-Out/Cool-Off Periods: Temporarily suspend your account for hours, days, or weeks
