Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Shaka Services, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. It is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older to use any non-Gamstop casino featured on this website. In the United Kingdom, the legal age for gambling is 18. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and ask all players to verify their age before registering with any gambling operator.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs in your behaviour, it may be time to seek help:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to win back money you've lost
• Hiding or lying about the extent of your gambling activities
• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Neglecting family, friends, work, or education due to gambling
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Failed attempts to cut back or quit gambling
• Loss of interest in hobbies and activities you once enjoyed

Self-Help Tools

Most reputable gambling operators provide responsible gaming tools to help you stay in control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a limit on how much you're willing to lose during a gaming session
• Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications reminding you how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from a casino or multiple casinos through the GamStop national scheme
• Session Time Limits: Set maximum time limits for your gambling sessions
• Account Closure: Request permanent account closure if you need to step away
