Responsible Gambling

Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling

At Royal Gallops, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling practices and ensuring that our users have access to the resources they need to make informed decisions about their betting activities.

What is Responsible Gambling?

Responsible gambling means gambling in a way that is safe, controlled, and within your means. It involves understanding the risks, setting limits, and knowing when to stop. Gambling should be viewed as entertainment, not a way to make money.

Setting Limits

  • • Set a budget before you start gambling and stick to it
  • • Decide how much time you want to spend gambling
  • • Never chase losses by betting more than you can afford
  • • Take regular breaks from gambling activities
  • • Don't gamble when you're feeling emotional or stressed

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

  • • Spending more money or time gambling than intended
  • • Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities
  • • Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
  • • Feeling anxious, depressed, or irritable when not gambling
  • • Lying to family and friends about gambling activities
  • • Trying to win back losses with bigger bets

Self-Exclusion and Cooling-Off Periods

Most reputable betting platforms offer self-exclusion options that allow you to temporarily or permanently block access to your account. Cooling-off periods can also help you take a break and reassess your gambling habits.

Tools for Responsible Gambling

  • • Deposit limits to control spending
  • • Time limits to manage gambling sessions
  • • Reality checks to remind you how long you've been playing
  • • Self-assessment tests to evaluate your gambling behavior
  • • Account activity statements to track your gambling patterns

Our Role

While we provide information about horse racing betting platforms, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling practices. We encourage our users to gamble responsibly and seek help if needed. Remember, gambling should always be fun and never put your financial security at risk.

Remember: Gambling should be entertaining, not a way to make money. If you're not having fun, it's time to stop. Help is always available for those who need it.
