Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Carlton Woodmill, we believe gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. It should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
We are committed to preventing underage gambling. You must be 18 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to use our website and participate in any gambling activities.
If you are under the legal age, please do not proceed. Parents and guardians: monitor your children's online activity.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Be honest with yourself. If you recognise any of the following, you may have a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
- Hiding your gambling activity or lying about how much you gamble
- Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
- Feeling anxious or irritable when you try to cut back or stop
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or control your gambling
- Spending increasingly more time or money on gambling
- Relationships suffering because of your gambling
If any of these apply to you, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools
Many online casinos offer tools to help you stay in control. Consider using:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to deposit in a given period
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders of how long you have been gambling and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Automatically log out after a set period
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently block yourself from accessing gambling websites
These tools can help you manage your gambling and prevent excessive play. Always use them if available.
