Responsible Gaming at Amon Casino

Our commitment: gambling is entertainment, not income

Every game on our site is built on random outcomes and carries a built-in margin in favour of the house over time, so no system, pattern or staking plan turns play into a reliable income. Treat the money you stake as the price of the entertainment, in the way you would treat the cost of a cinema ticket or a meal out.

Set a budget before you deposit rather than during a session. Decide what you can comfortably afford to lose in a week or a month, set that figure as a limit in your account, and keep gambling money separate from the money you need for rent, bills, food and credit commitments.

Our games are for adults only. Registration is restricted to customers aged 18 or over, we hold a gaming licence and verify the identity and age of every account holder, and any account that turns out to belong to someone under 18 is closed, with stakes returned and any winnings withheld.

The tools in your account and how to switch them on

Every account includes a set of safer gambling controls. You can switch them on at any time, you do not need to give a reason, and you will never be asked to justify a limit or offered a bonus to lift one. The settings sit together in the responsible gambling area of your account.

Deposit limits

A deposit limit caps the total you can pay in over a day, a week or a month, whichever period suits you. It counts money paid in rather than money staked, so it acts as a firm ceiling on what your play can cost you.

Loss and session limits

A loss limit stops play once your net losses over the chosen period reach the figure you set. A session limit counts the time you spend signed in and ends the session when that time is used up. Together they control both your spend and the hours you give to the games.

Time-outs and self-exclusion

A time-out is a short break during which you cannot deposit or stake, although you can still sign in to withdraw a balance; the terms available are listed in your account. Self-exclusion is a longer and firmer commitment: for the whole of the term you choose your account is locked, it cannot be reopened early, and we stop sending you marketing. When the term ends, access is not automatic, as you must ask us to restore it and a further waiting period applies.

Reality checks and your account history

A reality check puts a short on-screen reminder into play at an interval you choose, showing how long you have been playing and where you stand. Your account history is open to you at any time, so you can look over deposits, withdrawals, stakes and results instead of relying on memory.

Switching a tool on

1. Sign in and open the responsible gambling area of your account.
2. Choose the tool you need, then enter the amount or the period you want.
3. Confirm the change. A tighter limit applies as soon as you confirm it.
4. If you would rather not do it yourself, ask us on live chat or write to support@casinoamon.co.uk and we will apply the setting for you.

Signs that gambling may be becoming a problem

Difficulties build gradually, and the early signs show in behaviour long before they show in a balance. Go through these questions honestly.

• Do you play for longer, or spend more, than you planned to?
• Have you raised your stakes to win back money you have lost?
• Do you gamble with money meant for bills, rent or food, or with borrowed money?
• Have you hidden your gambling from family, friends or colleagues?
• Do you feel restless or irritable when you try to cut down or stop?
• Do you gamble to escape stress, boredom, loneliness or low mood?
• Has gambling affected your work, study, sleep or relationships?
• Do you think about gambling while you are doing other things?
• Have you sold or pawned belongings to fund play?
• Does anyone close to you worry about how much you gamble?

If you answered yes to even one or two of these, set a limit or take a time-out today and speak to one of the services below. You do not need to be in crisis to ask for help, and asking does not affect the money in your account.

Where to get free, confidential help

Support is available across the UK at no cost. You can approach any of these organisations directly, without telling us first.

• GambleAware - a charity that funds free treatment and publishes plain information on gambling risks, including self-assessment tools and advice for family members.
• GamCare - offers free counselling and structured treatment for anyone harmed by gambling, in person or remotely, as well as support for partners and relatives.
• GamStop - a free national self-exclusion scheme; one registration blocks your access to the online gambling sites covered by it for the term you choose.
• National Gambling Helpline - a confidential helpline staffed by trained advisers who talk through your situation and point you towards treatment near you.

Money worries and gambling often travel together, so free debt advice from a national advice charity can help alongside treatment, and your GP can refer you into local services. We can also apply a limit, a time-out or a self-exclusion on your behalf if you ask us on live chat or at support@casinoamon.co.uk.

Protecting children and others in your household

Before you withdraw, and in some cases before you continue to play, we ask for documents that confirm your name, age and address, and the account stays limited until those checks are complete. Most underage access happens on a device at home rather than at registration, so the household side matters as much as ours.

• Keep your password and payment details to yourself, and never let anyone else use your account.
• Sign out fully at the end of a session instead of leaving one open.
• Do not store login or card details in a browser a child can open.
• Use a separate profile, or a passcode, on any device you share with a child.

Parental control and filtering software can block gambling sites on a household's devices and limit what children are able to install. Options come from internet providers and specialist software suppliers, and most operating systems now include family settings at no extra cost.
