Responsible Gaming

Last updated: 2026 — At glengardengolf.net, we believe gambling should always be a form of entertainment — never a way to earn money, escape problems, or solve financial difficulties. Gambling involves risk, and the odds always favour the house. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and treat any winnings as a bonus, not an expectation.

Please note: our site reviews non-GamStop, Curacao-licensed casino sites. These operators are not licensed by the UK Gambling Commission and are not covered by GamStop or UK consumer protections. If you have self-excluded through GamStop, we strongly urge you not to use these sites and instead seek support from the organisations listed below.

Age Verification

Gambling is strictly prohibited for anyone under the age of 18 in Great Britain. It is an offence for a person under 18 to gamble. If you share your devices with minors, we recommend:

• Never saving passwords or payment details in shared browsers.
• Using parental control software such as Net Nanny, Gamban, or your device's built-in restrictions.
• Never allowing minors to watch or participate in your gambling activity.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Ask yourself the following questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to one or more, it may be time to seek help:

• Do you chase losses by gambling more to try to win back money?
• Do you lie to family or friends about how much you gamble or lose?
• Do you gamble with money meant for bills, rent, or essentials?
• Have you borrowed money or sold possessions to fund gambling?
• Do you feel restless, anxious, or irritable when not gambling?
• Do you gamble to escape stress, boredom, or negative feelings?
• Have you tried to cut down or stop gambling and failed?
• Has gambling caused problems in your relationships, work, or studies?
• Do you gamble for longer than you intended or lose track of time?
• Do you feel guilt or remorse after gambling?

Self-Help Tools

Most reputable casinos — including many Curacao-licensed operators — offer responsible gambling tools. We encourage you to use them before you play:

• Deposit limits — Set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on how much you can deposit.
• Loss limits — Restrict the amount you can lose within a set period.
• Wager limits — Cap the total amount you can bet.
• Reality checks — Enable on-screen reminders of how long you have been playing.
• Session time limits — Set automatic logouts after a chosen period.
• Cooling-off periods — Take a short break (24 hours to several weeks) from your account.
• Self-exclusion — Permanently or temporarily block access to your account. You can also use blocking software such as Gamban (www.gamban.com) or BetBlocker to restrict access to gambling sites across all your devices.
