Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At The Bee Pub, we believe gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is never a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The odds are always in favour of the casino, and you should only gamble with money you can afford to lose.

Please play responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification & Legal Requirement

You must be 18 years of age or over to gamble in the United Kingdom. It is illegal for anyone under 18 to participate in gambling activities.

We strictly verify the age of all players. By accessing any casino linked through our website, you confirm that you are of legal gambling age in your jurisdiction.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

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

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, food, bills)
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about the extent of gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut down
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to feel the same excitement
• Neglecting family, work, education, or hobbies due to gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Failed attempts to control or stop gambling
• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended

If you identify with any of these signs, please seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Controls

Most reputable casinos offer responsible gaming tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a specific timeframe
• Loss Limits: Set a limit on the amount you're willing to lose
• Session Time Limits: Automatically log you out after a set period
• Reality Checks: Receive reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Self-Exclusion: Exclude yourself from gambling for a period you choose (typically 6 months to permanently)
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling

We recommend using these tools from the outset to keep your gambling safe and enjoyable.
