Responsible Gaming

Safe gambling matters. Agent No Wager promotes responsible play for all UK players. You can set limits, take time-outs, and use reality checks to stay in control. Our policy prioritises your safety and supports informed choices. If gambling stops feeling fun, help and tools are ready.

Basic Principles of Responsible Gaming

Gambling always carries the risk of financial loss. Set clear boundaries so playing stays safe and enjoyable. Agent No Wager provides tools to help you control your activity.

  • Bet only money you can afford to lose.
  • Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit, loss, and wager limits in your account.
  • Use session reminders and reality checks to track time spent.
  • Plan a budget before you play; keep gambling funds separate from bills and savings.
  • Do not chase losses.
  • Avoid gambling when tired, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
  • Take regular breaks and use short time-outs when needed.
  • Review your account history to learn from your play and spot trends.
  • Protect minors; keep devices secure and never share your login.
  • You must be 18 or over to gamble in the United Kingdom.

How to Recognize Betting Addiction?

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Warning signs show when control is slipping. Gambling addiction is a serious condition that needs attention.

  • Spending more than you can afford on betting.
  • Chasing losses or raising stakes to win back money.
  • Needing to gamble more often to feel the same excitement.
  • Hiding gambling from family, friends, or colleagues.
  • Borrowing money, using credit, or selling items to fund play.
  • Feeling irritable, anxious, or low when you try to cut back.
  • Missing work, studies, or social plans because of gambling.
  • Gambling to escape stress, anger, or sadness.
  • Repeated failed attempts to stop or set limits.
  • Neglecting bills, essentials, or sleep due to betting.
