Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At Capital City Crawfish, we're committed to promoting responsible gambling. Betting should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never view it as an investment or income source.

Age Verification

All betting sites in the UK are required to verify that users are at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction. We take this seriously and will request proof of identity and age during the registration process. Gambling is not permitted for anyone under the legal age limit.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses by gambling with more money to recover previous losses
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
• Feeling unable to stop or reduce gambling despite wanting to
• Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
• Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
• Neglecting family, friends, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
• Experiencing anxiety, depression, or stress related to gambling
• Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same excitement

Self-Help Tools & Controls

Most reputable betting sites offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount of losses you're willing to accept
• Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from a betting site for a set period
• Session Time Limits: Set automatic session time-outs to prevent extended gambling periods

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