Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gambling
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Libby Summers, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Betting sites and casino games are designed for enjoyment, and there is always a house edge that favours the operator. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In the United Kingdom, you must be at least 18 years of age to gamble legally. We take age verification seriously and require all users to confirm their age during registration. If you are under 18, please do not access betting or gambling services.
If you have concerns about a young person's gambling, please contact a support organisation listed below.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, seek help immediately:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling
- Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or healthcare providers
- Gambling to escape stress, worry, depression, or other difficult emotions
- Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
- Neglecting work, school, family, or other important responsibilities
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- Risking relationships or opportunities because of gambling
Self-Help Tools and Safer Gambling Features
Most reputable betting operators provide tools to help you control your gambling. These include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a chosen timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose over a specific period
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you've been gambling
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from betting sites for a period of time
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if needed
We encourage you to use these tools if you feel your gambling is becoming problematic.
