Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At immitabs.co.uk, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to gamble with us through Paddy Power, please do so responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble in the United Kingdom. This is a legal requirement. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity and age at any time.
If you are under 18, please do not attempt to access gambling services. If you are aware of anyone under 18 gambling, please contact us or the relevant authorities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be honest with yourself and watch for these warning signs:
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover lost money
- Lying to family, friends, or others about your gambling habits
- Neglecting work, school, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money for the same excitement
- Borrowing money or going into debt to finance gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- Gambling as an escape from problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Hiding evidence of gambling activity
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately.
