Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At Old School Barbershop Casino, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to gamble, please do so responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
We take age restrictions seriously. In the United Kingdom, you must be 18 years of age or older to gamble legally. We verify the age of all players during registration and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, you are not permitted to use our services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be aware of the following warning signs:
- Spending more money or time gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
- Neglecting work, school, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or getting into debt to fund gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Lying about the extent of your gambling activities
- Experiencing relationship problems due to gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, please reach out for support immediately.
