Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At Little Art Book, 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 should be enjoyed responsibly and within your means.

Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and always set strict limits on both time and expenditure before you start.

Age Verification

All gambling in the United Kingdom is strictly regulated and only available to persons aged 18 years and over. It is illegal for anyone under 18 to participate in gambling activities.

If you are under the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, please do not use betting sites. All licensed operators are required to verify your age and identity before allowing access to their services.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Gambling with increasing amounts to achieve the same level of excitement
• Hiding your gambling activity or lying about the amount you gamble
• Neglecting family, work, education, or other hobbies due to gambling
• Experiencing mood changes (irritability, anxiety, or depression) related to gambling
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Feeling unable to stop or cut down on gambling despite wanting to
• Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Constantly thinking about gambling or planning the next gambling session
• Friends or family expressing concern about your gambling habits

Self-Help Tools & Player Protection

Most reputable betting sites offer a range of tools to help you manage your gambling responsibly:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose before you must stop gambling
• Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders showing how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
• Time-Out (Cool-Off Period): Take a break from gambling for a set period (hours to weeks) while maintaining access to your account
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from a betting site for a fixed or indefinite period
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely

We strongly encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain control over your gambling activity.
