Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gambling
At bjedwards.co.uk, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming. Online betting should be enjoyed as entertainment only—never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all our users to gamble within their means and to seek help if they feel their gambling is becoming a problem.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older (or the legal age in your jurisdiction) to access and use online betting services in the United Kingdom. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register or gamble.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Please be aware of the following warning signs that may indicate problem gambling:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to win back money you've lost
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
- Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
- Neglecting work, education, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Gambling for longer periods or with larger amounts than intended
- Feeling anxious or irritable when trying to reduce or stop gambling
- Borrowing money to fund your gambling
- Experiencing mood changes linked to gambling wins or losses
- Lying to others about the extent of your gambling
- Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or other negative feelings
If you recognise any of these signs in your own behaviour, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Responsible gambling tools are available to help you maintain control of your betting activities. These include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose within a set timeframe
- Betting Limits: Restrict the maximum stake you can place on individual bets
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders at regular intervals during your gaming session
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently close your account to prevent gambling for a period you choose
- Time-Out: Take a break from gambling for a set number of days without losing access to your account
We strongly encourage you to use these tools. Most reputable betting operators provide these features free of charge.
