Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Peppy Media, we believe that online slots and casino games should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. If you find yourself gambling to make money or recover losses, it's time to seek help.
We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting players who may be experiencing difficulties.
Age Verification
All UK casino and slots operators are legally required to verify that players are at least 18 years of age before allowing access to gambling services. This is a legal requirement under UK gambling law.
If you are under 18, or if you know a young person who is gambling online, please contact the relevant support organizations listed below.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following warning signs in your own behavior, it may be time to seek support:
- Chasing losses: Gambling more to try to recover money you've lost
- Hiding gambling: Keeping your gambling activity secret from friends or family
- Loss of control: Gambling longer or with more money than intended
- Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gambling
- Financial strain: Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Mood swings: Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble
- Escalating stakes: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to feel the same excitement
- Failed attempts to quit: Trying to stop or reduce gambling without success
Self-Help Tools and Player Controls
Most responsible UK operators provide tools to help you stay in control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose in a given period
- Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications reminding you how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Restrict how long you can play in a single session
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from an operator's services
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling
We encourage you to use these tools if you feel your gambling is becoming problematic.
