Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Cannon Press, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the cinema or watching live sports. It should never be considered as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The house always has a mathematical advantage, and there are no guaranteed ways to win. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble in the United Kingdom. If you are under the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, please do not use gambling services. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and comply with all UK Gambling Commission regulations.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Neglecting family, work, or other important responsibilities due to gambling
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble
- Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same level of excitement
- Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or gambling to pay off debts
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Friends or family expressing concern about your gambling habits
Self-Help Tools & Safer Gambling Features
Most reputable casinos offer tools to help you gamble responsibly. These include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose before stopping play
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
- Session Limits: Set time restrictions on your gambling sessions
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling accounts
- Account Closure: Close your account if you decide to stop gambling
We strongly encourage you to use these tools when gambling online.
