Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At Coach Cottage Norfolk, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling. Betting and casino games should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.

If you are under 18 years old, or the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction, you must not use any betting services. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.

Age Verification – 18+ Only

In the United Kingdom, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in gambling activities. By using any affiliated betting site through Coach Cottage Norfolk, you confirm that you are 18 years old or older and meet all legal requirements to gamble in your jurisdiction.

If you are under the legal age, please do not proceed. If you are aware of anyone under 18 using gambling services, please report this immediately to the relevant operator and to the UK Gambling Commission.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be honest with yourself and watch for these warning signs:

Chasing Losses: Trying to win back money you have lost by gambling more
Loss of Control: Gambling longer or with more money than intended
Concealment: Hiding your gambling from friends, family, or loved ones
Neglecting Responsibilities: Skipping work, school, or personal commitments to gamble
Financial Strain: Gambling with money needed for bills, rent, food, or other essentials
Increasing Stakes: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to feel the same excitement
Mood Changes: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when not gambling
Failed Attempts to Stop: Trying unsuccessfully to cut back or quit gambling
Borrowing Money: Taking loans or using credit to fund gambling
Relationship Problems: Arguments with family or friends about your gambling habits

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately. Problem gambling is treatable, and support is available.

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Most reputable betting sites offer tools to help you maintain control. These include:

Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a given timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount of losses you are willing to accept before stopping play
Reality Checks: Receive time notifications during gambling sessions to help you stay aware of how long you have been playing
Session Time Limits: Automatically end your session after a predetermined period
Self-Exclusion: Exclude yourself from an operator for a set period (days, weeks, months, or years) or permanently
Account Closure: Permanently close your account with an operator
Cooling-Off Periods: Request a mandatory break before you can resume gambling

We strongly encourage you to use these tools proactively. They are designed to help you gamble safely and within your means.
