Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Dessert Republic, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming. Gambling should always be viewed as entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and remember that the house always has a mathematical advantage.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to participate in gambling activities. Grosvenor Casino strictly enforces age verification to protect minors. If you are under 18, please do not gamble.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Please be aware of these warning signs that may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
- Gambling for longer periods than intended
- Hiding gambling activity from family or friends
- Experiencing mood swings related to gambling wins and losses
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Gambling with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone else, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools and Controls
Grosvenor Casino and responsible gaming platforms offer several tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much money you deposit
- Loss Limits: Set limits on how much money you're willing to lose during a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders during your gaming session about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Time-Out: Take a break from gambling for a set period (hours, days, or weeks)
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling sites and venues for a period you choose
