Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Fishman's Frags, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment. It should never be considered a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
We are committed to responsible gambling and comply with all UK regulations. You must be 18 years of age or older to participate in any gambling activities on our affiliated betting sites.
If you are under 18, or if you are not of legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, please do not proceed. Parents and guardians: if you are concerned about a young person's online activity, please speak to them about the risks.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be aware of the following warning signs:
- Chasing Losses: Attempting to recover lost money by gambling more
- Hiding Gambling: Concealing the amount of time or money spent gambling from family or friends
- Loss of Control: Being unable to stop or reduce gambling despite wanting to
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gambling
- Financial Difficulties: Using savings, borrowing money, or incurring debt to fund gambling
- Mood Changes: Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble
- Escalating Stakes: Needing to bet larger amounts to experience the same excitement
- Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to cut back or stop gambling
- Relationship Problems: Arguments with loved ones about gambling habits
- Physical Symptoms: Sleep problems, headaches, or stress-related illness
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available.
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most betting operators offer tools to help you maintain control. These include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose during a specified timeframe
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you have been gambling and how much you have spent
- Cooling-Off Periods: Take a mandatory break from gambling for a set period
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently close your account and exclude yourself from betting sites
We encourage you to use these tools proactively. Contact the operator's customer support team for assistance in setting up any of these features.
