Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Saltwater Milford, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the cinema or attending a sporting event. It should never be considered as a way to earn money or solve financial problems.
Casino games are games of chance with a built-in house edge. Over time, the odds always favour the casino. Please only gamble with money you can afford to lose and never chase losses.
Age Verification
Gambling is only legal for individuals aged 18 years and over in the United Kingdom. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and verify the age of all users during registration.
If you are under 18, please do not attempt to create an account. If you are aware of a minor gambling online, please report this to the appropriate authorities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be honest with yourself and watch for these warning signs:
- Spending more time or money gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to win back money
- Neglecting family, work, education, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount spent
- Borrowing money to fund gambling or gambling with borrowed funds
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Unsuccessful attempts to control or cut back on gambling
- Jeopardising relationships, employment, or educational opportunities
- Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools and Support Features
We provide a range of responsible gambling tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly). Once this limit is reached, no further deposits can be made until the period ends.
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount of losses you are willing to incur within a specific timeframe. Once reached, your account will be restricted from further play.
- Betting Limits: Control the maximum stake you can place on individual bets or games.
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders at regular intervals during your gaming session to help you keep track of time and money spent.
- Session Time Limits: Set a maximum duration for each gaming session. You will be logged out automatically when the time expires.
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently close your account if you feel your gambling is becoming problematic. During a self-exclusion period, you will be unable to access your account or use our services.
These tools are available in your account settings. We encourage you to use them proactively to maintain healthy gambling habits.
