Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Source of Income

At Totteridge Park, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming. Gambling should only ever be viewed as entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means and never spend money you cannot afford to lose.

Age Verification

We strictly adhere to UK gambling regulations. You must be 18 years of age or older to access our site and participate in any gambling activities. We employ rigorous age verification checks to protect minors from accessing gambling services. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register or gamble on our platform.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, problem gambling may be developing:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the time and money spent gambling
• Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
• Neglecting family, friends, work, or education due to gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut down or stop
• Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
• Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
• Experiencing relationship problems due to gambling habits
• Unable to stop or control gambling impulses
• Using gambling as an escape from stress, anxiety, or depression
