Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At Floor Sauce, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Betting should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. It's important to only gamble with money you can afford to lose and to set limits that work for your personal circumstances.
We are committed to promoting responsible gambling practices and supporting our users in maintaining control over their betting activities.
Age Verification
All gambling services in the UK are strictly reserved for individuals aged 18 years and over. It is your responsibility to ensure you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction before placing any bets. We do not permit gambling by minors under any circumstances.
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've lost by gambling more
- Hiding gambling activity: Keeping your gambling secret from family or friends
- Increased time and money: Gradually spending more time and money on gambling
- Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gambling
- Gambling to escape problems: Using gambling as a way to cope with stress, anxiety, or depression
- Loss of control: Being unable to stop or reduce your gambling despite wanting to
- Borrowing money: Taking loans or using credit to fund gambling activities
- Mood changes: Becoming irritable or anxious when unable to gamble
- Failed attempts to quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to cut back or stop
- Relationship strain: Arguments with loved ones about your gambling habits
If you recognize any of these signs in your own behaviour, it's important to seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools
Most betting sites, including those featured on Floor Sauce, offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose before stopping play
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been gambling and how much you've wagered
- Time-Out/Break: Temporarily suspend your account for a set period to take a break from gambling
- Self-Exclusion: Permanently or temporarily close your account if you feel you've lost control
We encourage you to use these tools proactively. Most responsible betting sites make these features easily accessible in account settings.
