Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Accelerator Academy, we believe that casino gaming should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the cinema or attending a sporting event. It should never be considered a way to earn money or solve financial problems.
When you gamble, you should only spend what you can afford to lose. The house always has a mathematical advantage, and there are no guaranteed ways to win. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
Online gambling in the United Kingdom is only legal for individuals who are 18 years of age or older. It is your responsibility to ensure you meet this legal requirement before participating in any gambling activities.
We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity to confirm your age at any time. If you are under 18, please do not use our site.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses: Trying to recover money lost by gambling more
- Hiding gambling: Keeping your gambling activity secret from family or friends
- Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gambling
- Increasing stakes: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to feel the same excitement
- Failed attempts to stop: Repeatedly trying and failing to cut back or quit
- Financial problems: Borrowing money or getting into debt because of gambling
- Mood changes: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when unable to gamble
- Loss of control: Gambling longer or with more money than intended
- Relationship strain: Gambling causing arguments with loved ones
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Safer Gaming Features
Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you gamble responsibly:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a limit on how much you're willing to lose in a session or period
- Session Time Limits: Set reminders for how long you've been playing
- Reality Checks: Receive pop-up notifications during play to remind you how long you've been gambling
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling for a period you choose
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely
Use these tools to maintain control and keep gambling as a fun activity, not a financial burden.
