Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At Addax Soft, we believe that sports betting should be enjoyed purely as entertainment. Gambling is never a reliable way to make money or solve financial problems. We are committed to promoting safe and responsible gaming practices across all our recommendations and content.
Always bet within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Sports betting in Great Britain is restricted to individuals aged 18 years and over. All licensed betting operators are required by law to verify the age of their customers before accepting any bets.
If you are under 18, or under the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, you must not use any betting services. If you suspect that someone underage is gambling, please report this to the relevant operator immediately.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses by betting more money to recover what you've lost
- Hiding your gambling activities or betting amounts from friends and family
- Spending more time or money on gambling than you initially planned
- Unable to stop or reduce your gambling despite wanting to
- Neglecting work, study, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling activities
- Experiencing mood changes (anxiety, irritability, or restlessness) when not gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Lying about the extent of your gambling involvement
- Relationship conflicts caused by your gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available.
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable UK betting operators offer built-in tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a day, week, or month
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose over a specified period
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders of how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
- Time-Out/Cool-Off Period: Take a temporary break from betting (typically 24 hours to several weeks)
- Self-Exclusion: Permanently or temporarily close your betting account and exclude yourself from betting services
Use these tools proactively to ensure your gambling remains safe and enjoyable.
