Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Torquer VT, we believe that online casino gaming should be enjoyed purely as entertainment. It is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Casino games are designed with a mathematical advantage to the house, which means that over time, most players will lose money. Please only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Online casino gambling in the United Kingdom is only legal for individuals aged 18 years or older. If you are under 18, you must not use our services. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Please be aware of these common warning signs that your gambling may be becoming problematic:
- Chasing losses by gambling more money to try to recover what you've lost
- Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Spending more time or money gambling than intended
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Neglecting work, education, hobbies, or relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Feeling unable to control or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or difficult emotions
If you recognise any of these signs in your own behaviour, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Safeguards
Most reputable online casinos, including those we recommend, offer the following tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose over a set period
- Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications during your gaming session to remind you how long you've been playing
- Session Time Limits: Automatically log out after a set period of time
- Self-Exclusion: Take a break from gambling for a period of time (days, weeks, months, or years)
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely
We strongly encourage you to use these tools proactively as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
