Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Affilyon, we believe that betting and gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please only bet what you can afford to lose and always gamble within your means.

Age Verification

In the United Kingdom, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in gambling activities. All operators featured on our site are required to verify the age and identity of their users. If you are under 18, please do not use any betting platforms.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately:

• Chasing losses: Continuing to gamble to recover money you've lost
• Hiding gambling: Concealing the extent of your gambling from friends or family
• Loss of control: Gambling longer or with more money than intended
• Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, education, or family commitments due to gambling
• Financial difficulties: Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
• Mood changes: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when not gambling
• Increased tolerance: Needing to bet more money to get the same excitement
• Failed attempts to stop: Being unable to reduce or quit gambling despite wanting to
• Using gambling to escape: Gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, or other problems

Self-Help Tools & Safer Gambling Features

Most reputable betting operators offer tools to help you stay in control of your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose
• Time-Out/Reality Checks: Take a break with automatic reminders about time and money spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently close your account and be excluded from gambling
• Account Restrictions: Limit stake sizes, disable certain features, or restrict access during specific times

When signing up with any betting app, we recommend using these features from the outset as part of your responsible gaming plan.
