Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At One World One Year, we promote responsible gaming practices. Gambling should only ever be viewed as entertainment, similar to going to the cinema or theatre. It is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems.
We encourage all players to gamble within their means and to set strict limits on time and money spent. If you find yourself gambling more than intended, please seek support immediately.
Age Verification
Gambling is only for adults aged 18 years and over in Great Britain. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity. By using our site, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher.
If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not use gambling services. Gambling at a young age can lead to serious harm.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Ask yourself if you recognise any of these warning signs:
- Frequently chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Spending more time and money gambling than planned
- Becoming irritable or anxious when unable to gamble
- Neglecting work, education, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money or accumulating debt to fund gambling
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Lying to others about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Gambling to escape negative emotions or stress
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, take action and seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Most responsible gaming platforms offer tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a day, week, or month
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose
- Spending Limits: Restrict total spending on gambling activities
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders of how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
- Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts after a specified period
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling services
We encourage you to use these tools proactively, even if you feel you don't currently need them. Responsible gaming is about prevention.
