Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Financial Solution

At gravcymru.co.uk, we believe that betting with BetMGM and other operators should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and always set limits before you play.

Age Verification

In the United Kingdom, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in gambling activities. If you are under 18, please do not use betting services. Parents and guardians: if you have concerns about a young person's gambling, contact GamCare for support and resources.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone else, it may indicate a problem with gambling:

• Chasing losses by betting more money to recover what you've lost
• Hiding or lying about the amount you gamble or time spent gambling
• Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, bills, food, childcare)
• Borrowing money or accumulating debt to fund gambling
• Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
• Repeatedly attempting to cut down or stop gambling without success
• Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Friends or family expressing concern about your gambling habits

Self-Help Tools & Control Features

Most reputable betting operators, including BetMGM, offer tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Cap the amount of money you can lose during a set timeframe
• Betting Limits: Restrict the size of individual bets
• Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders during play sessions about how long you've been gambling and how much you've wagered
• Time-Out/Cool-Off Periods: Take a break from gambling for a set period (hours or days) without closing your account
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling for a longer period (typically 6 months or more)

We encourage you to use these tools proactively. Contact your betting operator's customer support to activate any of these features.
