Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At Vija Design, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the cinema or visiting a theme park. It should never be considered a way to earn money or solve financial problems.

Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and set strict limits before you start. If you find yourself gambling more than intended or chasing losses, please seek help immediately.

Age Verification

All gambling in the United Kingdom is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. If you are under 18, you must not access any betting services featured on this website.

We take age verification seriously and support the enforcement of age restrictions to protect young people.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following warning signs, you may be developing a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses: Attempting to win back money you've lost by gambling more
• Hiding gambling: Keeping your gambling secret from family, friends, or colleagues
• Loss of control: Being unable to stop gambling or stick to pre-set limits
• Increasing stakes: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
• Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gambling
• Borrowing to gamble: Using loans, credit cards, or borrowed money to fund gambling
• Mood swings: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when unable to gamble
• Failed attempts to quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
• Financial problems: Experiencing money troubles or debt as a result of gambling

If you identify with any of these signs, please reach out for support as soon as possible.

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gambling Features

Most reputable UK betting sites offer self-help tools to assist players in maintaining control. These include:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you're willing to lose in a set timeframe
• Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications reminding you how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
• Session Time Limits: Set a maximum duration for your gambling sessions
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently ban yourself from accessing betting services
• Account Closure: Close your account completely if you decide to stop gambling

We strongly encourage you to use these tools if you feel your gambling may be becoming problematic.
