Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At Finesse Rider Training, we believe gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Online casino games are designed with a house edge, meaning the odds always favour the casino in the long run. Please only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In the United Kingdom, you must be 18 years of age or older to gamble legally. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and verifying the age of all our users. If you are under 18, or if you are the parent or guardian of a young person who may be accessing gambling services, please contact us immediately.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses — continuing to gamble in an attempt to recover money that has been lost
- Hiding gambling activity from friends, family, or partners
- Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Feeling the need to gamble with increasingly larger amounts to achieve the same level of excitement
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Becoming irritable or anxious when trying to cut down on gambling
- Using gambling as an escape from stress, anxiety, depression, or other problems
- Borrowing money to finance gambling activities
- Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling
- Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling
If you recognise any of these signs, help is available.
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable online casinos offer a range of responsible gambling tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose within a specific time period
- Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders of how long you have been gambling and how much you have wagered
- Time-Out: Temporarily suspend your account for a period of time (typically 24 hours to several weeks)
- Self-Exclusion: Permanently or temporarily close your account and restrict access to gambling services
We encourage you to make use of these tools if you feel your gambling may be becoming problematic.
