Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Hexagon Glass Boards, we believe betting should be enjoyable entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and always view any winnings as a bonus rather than an expected return.
We encourage all players to gamble responsibly and within their means. If you feel your gambling is becoming a concern, help is available.
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 place bets or use betting services.
All operators featured on our site are required to verify your age and identity before allowing you to open an account or place bets.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Are you experiencing any of the following? If so, problem gambling may be affecting your life:
- Chasing losses by betting more money to recover what you've lost
- Hiding your gambling activities from friends, family, or loved ones
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Neglecting work, school, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Lying about the extent of your gambling or betting amounts
- Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other negative emotions
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Relationship conflicts due to your gambling habits
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, professional support is available.
