Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Coral betting sites, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. It is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.

If you find yourself struggling to control your gambling habits, help is available. Read on to learn about the warning signs and support services available to you.

Age Verification

In the United Kingdom, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in any form of gambling. All Coral betting sites strictly enforce age verification checks to ensure compliance with UK gambling laws.

If you are under 18, please do not attempt to gamble. If you are aware of anyone under 18 gambling online, please report it to the UK Gambling Commission.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop quickly. Please be honest with yourself and check for these warning signs:

• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or professionals
• Feeling anxious or irritable when trying to cut down or stop gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Borrowing money or going into debt to finance gambling
• Neglecting work, education, or family responsibilities due to gambling
• Continued gambling despite negative consequences
• Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself, support is available. Please reach out to one of the organisations listed below.

Self-Help Tools and Controls

Most reputable betting sites, including Coral betting sites, offer built-in tools to help you gamble responsibly:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly).
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose during a gambling session or over a period of time.
• Betting Limits: Restrict the maximum stake amount on individual bets.
• Reality Checks: Enable reminders during gaming sessions to check how long and how much you've spent.
• Time-Out: Take a voluntary break from gambling for a set period (hours, days, or weeks).
• Self-Exclusion: Permanently or temporarily close your account if you feel you cannot control your gambling.

Make use of these tools. They are designed to protect you and help you maintain control over your gambling activities.
