Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Financial Solution

At cumpas.co.uk, we believe that betting and casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. The house always has a mathematical advantage, and the outcome of games is based on chance. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years old or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction to use betting apps and casino services in Great Britain. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and comply with all UK Gambling Commission regulations. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register or place bets.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone else, it may indicate a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses: Gambling more to try to recover money you've lost
• Hiding gambling: Being secretive about the amount you gamble or how much money you spend
• Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gambling
• Increasing stakes: Needing to bet larger amounts to get the same excitement
• Loss of control: Being unable to stick to set limits or stop when you want to
• Mood changes: Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
• Financial problems: Borrowing money to gamble or gambling with money meant for essentials
• Unsuccessful attempts to quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
• Lying about gambling: Deceiving friends or family about your gambling activities
• Using gambling to escape: Gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, or other problems

Self-Help Tools & Features

Most reputable betting apps and casinos offer tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Cap the amount of money you're willing to lose during a session or time period
• Stake Limits: Restrict the maximum bet size you can place
• Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
• Time-Out/Break: Take a temporary break from gambling for a set period (hours, days, or weeks)
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from an operator for a longer period (6 months to several years)

We strongly encourage you to use these tools if you feel your gambling may be getting out of control.
