Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At Glasto Guide, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the cinema or a restaurant. Betting should never be considered a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and always set strict limits before you start.

Age Verification

BetMGM and all UK licensed operators are legally required to verify that players are at least 18 years old or the legal gambling age in their jurisdiction. If you are under the legal age for gambling in your country, you must not participate in any gambling activities. Parents and guardians should be aware of the gambling risks and take steps to prevent underage access to betting platforms.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop without you realizing it. Please be honest with yourself about these warning signs:

• Chasing losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
• Hiding gambling: Keeping your gambling activities secret from friends or family
• Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments to gamble
• Increased betting: Needing to bet more money to get the same excitement
• Difficulty stopping: Unable to control the amount of time or money spent gambling
• Financial problems: Borrowing money, using credit, or neglecting bills to fund gambling
• Mood changes: Becoming irritable or anxious when not gambling
• Unsuccessful attempts to cut back: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce gambling
• Using gambling to escape: Gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, or depression
• Lying about gambling: Downplaying the time or money spent on gambling activities

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself, please seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

BetMGM and most UK licensed operators provide tools to help you stay in control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a specified timeframe
• Betting Limits: Restrict the maximum stake on individual bets
• Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders showing how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
• Time-Out: Take a temporary break from your account (hours, days, or weeks) while maintaining access to your funds
• Self-Exclusion: Permanently or temporarily close your account if you feel you need to stop gambling entirely

We strongly encourage you to use these tools as part of your responsible gambling strategy.
