Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At Chin Chin Horse Box Bar, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Betting should never be viewed as a way to earn money, solve financial problems, or generate income. It's important to only gamble with money you can afford to lose and to set strict limits on your spending.

If you feel that your gambling is becoming problematic, please seek help immediately. Support is available, and there is no shame in reaching out.

Age Verification

In the United Kingdom, you must be 18 years of age or older to gamble legally. We take age verification seriously and only permit adults to access our recommended betting sites.

If you are under 18, please do not attempt to gamble. If you are aware of a minor gambling, please report it to the relevant authorities or support organization.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do you recognize any of the following warning signs in your gambling behavior? If so, it may be time to seek help:

• Chasing Losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
• Hiding Gambling: Keeping your gambling activities secret from family, friends, or partners
• Loss of Control: Gambling more than you intended or for longer than planned
• Neglecting Responsibilities: Prioritizing gambling over work, school, family, or other obligations
• Financial Strain: Borrowing money to gamble or struggling to pay bills because of gambling
• Mood Changes: Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble
• Tolerance: Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
• Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to cut back on gambling

If you've checked any of these boxes, please contact a support organization listed below.

Self-Help Tools & Safer Gambling Features

Most responsible betting sites offer tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Cap the amount of money you're willing to lose during a set period
• Betting Limits: Restrict the maximum stake or bet size per wager
• Reality Checks: Receive reminders about how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
• Session Limits: Set time restrictions on how long you can gamble in one session
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from betting sites to take a break from gambling
• Cool-Off Periods: Request a mandatory break from gambling for a set period

We strongly encourage you to use these tools to support responsible gambling habits. Speak with your betting site's customer support team to activate these features on your account.
