Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Bubble's Portraits, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Cryptocurrency casinos and online gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never view it as an investment or income source.
Age Verification
Online gambling is strictly for individuals aged 18 years or older in the United Kingdom. If you are under the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, you are not permitted to use casino services. We encourage parents and guardians to discuss responsible gaming with young people and to use parental controls where available.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following behaviours in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about time spent gambling
- Gambling with money needed for bills, rent, food, or other essentials
- Neglecting work, family, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Borrowing money or accumulating debt to fund gambling
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or emotional distress
- Experiencing mood swings or depression related to gambling activities
If you recognise these signs, help is available.
Self-Help Tools & Player Protection
Most reputable crypto casinos and gambling operators offer the following tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount of losses you're comfortable with before you stop gambling
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been gambling and how much you've wagered
- Session Time Limits: Set a maximum duration for your gaming sessions
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling platforms for a period you choose (typically 6 months to several years)
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely
We recommend using these tools proactively to maintain a healthy relationship with gaming.
