Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At thisisbrmb.co.uk, we believe gambling — whether at traditional online casinos or crypto casinos — should always be a form of entertainment, never a way to make money. Gambling is not an investment, a source of income, or a solution to financial problems. The outcome of every bet is determined by chance, and over time the odds always favour the operator. Please only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never see gambling — including betting with cryptocurrency — as a way to recover losses or pay bills.

As of 2026, crypto casinos can feel faster and more anonymous than traditional sites, which makes responsible play even more important. If gambling stops being fun, it's time to stop and seek support.

Age Verification

In the United Kingdom, it is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to gamble. All licensed operators are required by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) to verify the age and identity of every customer before they can deposit or play.

If you share your device with minors, please take precautions:

• Never leave your casino or crypto wallet accounts logged in.
• Do not share passwords, PINs, or payment details with children.
• Consider parental control software such as NetNanny or CyberPatrol.
• Use device-level restrictions and gambling-blocking tools where appropriate.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. Answer the following questions honestly — if several apply to you, it may be time to seek help:

• Do you chase losses by betting more to try to win money back?
• Do you hide your gambling activity or lie about how much you spend?
• Have you borrowed money, sold possessions, or used savings meant for essentials to gamble?
• Do you gamble to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or boredom?
• Have you missed work, studies, or family commitments because of gambling?
• Do you feel irritable or restless when you try to cut down or stop?
• Do you gamble with larger amounts of crypto or money to get the same excitement?
• Have friends or family expressed concern about your gambling?
• Do you keep your gambling a secret because of guilt or shame?

If you recognise yourself in these signs, please reach out — help is free, confidential, and available right now.

Self-Help Tools

All UKGC-licensed operators must offer player protection tools. We strongly encourage you to use them:

• Deposit limits – cap how much you can deposit daily, weekly, or monthly.
• Loss limits – restrict how much you can lose within a set period.
• Wagering/session limits – control the time and money you spend per session.
• Reality checks – on-screen reminders showing how long you've been playing and your net position.
• Time-outs (cooling-off periods) – take a short break from gambling, from 24 hours up to several weeks.
• Self-exclusion – block yourself from an operator for 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or permanently. In Great Britain, you can self-exclude from all UK-licensed online operators at once via GamStop.
• Blocking software – tools such as GamBan or BetBlocker can restrict access to gambling sites and apps across your devices, including crypto casinos.
