Responsible Gaming

At Green Dreams, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling practices across the UK. This page provides essential information about safer gaming, recognising problem gambling, and accessing support services. We believe that entertainment should remain enjoyable and within your control.

What is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means gambling in a way that is fun, controlled, and within your financial means. It involves:

• Setting strict budgets and sticking to them
• Viewing gambling as entertainment, not as a way to make money
• Never chasing losses
• Taking regular breaks from gambling
• Keeping gambling separate from essential expenses like rent, bills, and groceries
• Gambling only with money you can afford to lose

All casinos reviewed on Green Dreams support responsible gaming and are licensed to operate within strict UK regulations.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

It's important to recognise when gambling may be becoming a problem. If you or someone you know exhibits any of these warning signs, professional help should be sought:

• Increasing time and money: Spending progressively more time and money on gambling
• Chasing losses: Attempting to recover losses by gambling more
• Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or neglecting family obligations
• Emotional distress: Becoming anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble
• Secrecy: Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time and money spent
• Financial strain: Borrowing money or getting into debt due to gambling
• Loss of control: Being unable to stop or reduce gambling despite wanting to

Self-Exclusion Tools

Most UK licensed casinos offer self-exclusion tools that allow you to voluntarily restrict your access to your account. These tools include:

• Account restrictions: Temporarily or permanently closing your casino account
• Deposit limits: Setting maximum amounts you can deposit within a specific timeframe
• Loss limits: Capping the amount you can lose during a set period
• Session time limits: Automatically logging you out after a predetermined duration
• Reality checks: Reminders during play about the time and money you've spent

All casinos reviewed on Green Dreams provide easy access to these responsible gaming features within account settings.

Deposit Limits

Setting a deposit limit is one of the most effective ways to manage your gambling budget. Deposit limits allow you to specify the maximum amount you can add to your casino account within a day, week, or month. Once this limit is reached, no further deposits are possible until the timeframe resets. This tool is invaluable for preventing overspending and maintaining control over your gambling activity.

18+ Policy

All gambling in the UK is strictly for those aged 18 and over. All casinos featured on Green Dreams verify the age of their players before allowing access to gaming. If you are under 18, gambling is illegal and harmful. Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor young people's online activities and use parental controls to prevent access to gambling websites.
