Responsible Gaming

    Gambling Should Be Entertainment

    At Crafty Swines, we believe gambling should be enjoyed purely as entertainment. It is not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never see it as an investment or income source.

    Enjoy casino games responsibly and within your means. Set limits, play for fun, and know when to stop.

    Age Verification

    In the United Kingdom, you must be 18 years of age or older to gamble. We are committed to preventing underage gambling. All players must verify their age during account registration.

    If you are under 18, please do not access gambling services. Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor online activity and use parental controls.

    Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

    Recognising the early signs of problem gambling is crucial. Please review this checklist:

    • Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
    • Chasing losses — trying to win back money you've lost
    • Hiding or lying about the extent of your gambling
    • Neglecting family, work, hobbies, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
    • Borrowing money or using credit to gamble
    • Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
    • Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or negative emotions
    • Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
    • Gambling affecting your mental health or relationships
    • Risking or losing important opportunities due to gambling

    If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, please seek help immediately.

    Most reputable casinos offer tools to help you gamble responsibly:

    • Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a chosen timeframe
    • Loss Limits: Restrict the amount you can lose within a set period

    • Session Time Limits: Automatically log out after a set duration
    • Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling services
