Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At davetwentyman.co.uk, we believe gambling should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial problems. Betting should only be done with money you can afford to lose, and should never interfere with your essential expenses or wellbeing.

Age Verification

Gambling is strictly for those aged 18 years and over in the United Kingdom. If you are under the legal age, please do not gamble. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity at any time.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

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

• Chasing losses by gambling with more money to recover what you've lost
• Gambling with money needed for essentials like rent, bills, or food
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount you gamble
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, or difficult emotions
• Neglecting family, friends, work, or hobbies due to gambling
• Borrowing money or getting into debt to fund gambling
• Failed attempts to cut back or control gambling
• Gambling for longer periods than intended
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement

Self-Help Tools & Controls

Most reputable betting operators, including bet365, offer tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a daily, weekly, or monthly limit on how much you can deposit
• Loss Limits: Set a limit on how much you're willing to lose over a specified period
• Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders of how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
• Time-Out (Cool-Off): Take a break from gambling for a set period (hours to weeks)
• Self-Exclusion: Exclude yourself from gambling for an extended period (typically 6 months or longer)

Access these tools through your betting account settings or contact customer support for assistance.
