Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Fun
At Sky Bet betting sites, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only. It should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In the United Kingdom, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in gambling activities. It is illegal for anyone under 18 to gamble. We take age verification seriously and all players must provide proof of identity and age before opening an account.
If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register or gamble.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs, you may have a gambling problem. Please seek help immediately:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
- Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Neglecting work, school, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Feeling anxious or distressed about your gambling habits
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop gambling
