Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At Automotive Glass Medics, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble within your means and only spend what you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older to participate in any gambling activities on our site. In the UK, the legal age for gambling is 18. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under 18, please do not use our services.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available:

• Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount spent
• Neglecting family, friends, work, or studies due to gambling
• Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
• Increasing the amount wagered to achieve the same level of excitement
• Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
• Experiencing relationship problems related to gambling
• Attempting unsuccessfully to reduce or stop gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions

Self-Help Tools

We encourage all players to use available tools to manage their gambling responsibly:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific time period
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're prepared to lose
• Reality Checks: Enable notifications to remind you how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming if you feel you're losing control
• Time-Out: Take a break from gambling for a set period
