Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At Fabric HQ, we believe gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Casino games are designed with a mathematical house edge, meaning the odds always favour the casino over time.

Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses or gamble to escape personal problems.

Age Verification

Gambling is only legal for individuals aged 18 years or older in the United Kingdom. Before accessing any casino services, you must confirm you meet this minimum age requirement. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity and age at any time.

If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register or gamble on our website.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be honest with yourself and watch for these warning signs:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
• Spending more time gambling than intended
• Hiding gambling activity from family, friends or partners
• Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression or other emotional problems
• Neglecting work, education, family or social responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money or accumulating debt to fund gambling
• Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
• Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
• Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling

If you recognise any of these signs in your own behaviour, please seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools Available

Most reputable casinos, including those we affiliate with, offer practical tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly).
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose during a session or time period.
• Session Reminders: Receive reality checks that inform you how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered.
• Time-Out: Take a short break from gambling for a period you choose (hours, days, or weeks).
• Self-Exclusion: Exclude yourself from an operator's service for a fixed period or permanently, preventing access to your account.

These tools are designed to give you control. Use them proactively to maintain healthy gambling habits.
