Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Player Safety

At Artandprosecco, we believe that eSports betting should always be an enjoyable, entertaining activity. Beth Powell and the entire Artandprosecco team are genuinely committed to promoting responsible gambling across every aspect of this site. We understand that for some people, betting can become more than just fun, and we take that seriously. This page exists not as a formality, but because we care about the wellbeing of every person who visits artandprosecco.co.uk.

Gambling is only ever appropriate as a form of entertainment. It should never be used as a way to earn money, escape problems, or manage difficult emotions. If your relationship with betting ever starts to feel complicated, the information and resources on this page are here to help.

Who Can Bet Legally in Great Britain

Artandprosecco operates exclusively for adults. You must be 18 years of age or older to bet on any eSports event or access gambling-related content through this site. All licensed operators we recommend are required by UK law to carry out strict age verification checks before allowing any customer to deposit or place a wager. If you are under 18, please leave now and do not attempt to access gambling services.

If you are a parent or guardian, we strongly encourage you to use parental control tools such as Gamban, Net Nanny, or your internet provider's family filter settings to prevent underage access to gambling content.

Recognising the Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of how experienced or responsible they feel as a bettor. The signs are not always obvious at first, which is why honest self-reflection matters. Some common warning signs include:

• Spending more money or time on betting than you originally planned
• Chasing losses by placing further bets to try to win back money you have lost
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not able to bet
• Lying to friends, family, or colleagues about your gambling habits
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund your betting
• Neglecting work, studies, relationships, or personal health because of gambling
• Using gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other problems
• Feeling unable to stop even when you want to

If any of these points feel familiar, please know that you are not alone and that effective help is available right now.

Self-Assessment Checklist

Take a moment to ask yourself the following questions honestly:

• Do I regularly bet more than I can afford to lose?
• Have I ever missed paying a bill in order to gamble?
• Do I spend a lot of time thinking about gambling even when I am doing other things?
• Have I tried to cut back on gambling and found it difficult?
• Has someone close to me ever expressed concern about my betting?
• Do I feel a need to increase my bets to get the same level of excitement?
• Have I gambled to try to solve a financial problem?

If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, we encourage you to reach out to one of the organisations listed further down this page. Seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Tools to Help You Stay in Control

All reputable, licensed eSports betting sites recommended by Artandprosecco are required by the UK Gambling Commission to offer a range of responsible gambling tools. You should be able to access all of the following directly within your account settings:

• Deposit Limits: Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on the amount of money you can deposit. Limits can always be lowered immediately and must only be increased after a mandatory waiting period.
• Reality Checks: Receive on-screen reminders at regular intervals that show you how long you have been betting and how much you have spent during that session.
• Cooling-Off Periods: Take a short break from betting for a defined period, such as 24 hours, one week, or one month, without fully closing your account.
• Self-Exclusion: Request to be excluded from a single operator for a minimum of six months, or use GAMSTOP (gamstop.co.uk) to self-exclude from all UK-licensed gambling sites simultaneously with one registration.

We strongly recommend setting these tools proactively, before any problems arise, as part of a healthy approach to eSports betting.
