Responsible Gaming

What is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming is a set of standards and practices designed to protect players and promote a safe, fair, and enjoyable gaming environment. At Exclusively Dogs, we are committed to encouraging responsible gambling habits among all our users. Responsible gaming means understanding the risks involved, setting personal limits, and playing only for entertainment purposes with money you can afford to lose.

All licensed casinos in the United Kingdom are required to implement responsible gaming measures to safeguard their players. This includes providing tools to help you manage your gaming activity, clear information about odds and risks, and access to support services if you need help.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following warning signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek support:

• Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
• Spending more time gambling than intended
• Difficulty controlling or stopping gambling sessions
• Chasing losses by continuing to gamble to recover money
• Neglecting family, work, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
• Using gambling as an escape from stress, anxiety, or other emotional problems
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling activities
• Lying to friends or family about the extent of your gambling
• Experiencing anxiety, irritability, or restlessness when not gambling
• Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling

If you experience any of these signs, please reach out for help. Support is available, and seeking assistance is a sign of strength.

Self-Exclusion Tools

Self-exclusion is a voluntary measure that allows you to restrict your own access to gambling services. When you self-exclude, you agree not to gamble for a specified period, which can range from days to years. During this time, you will be unable to access your account or place bets.

How Self-Exclusion Works:

• Contact the casino directly or use their self-exclusion tool in your account settings
• Specify the length of your self-exclusion period
• Your account will be closed and locked for the duration you choose
• You will not receive marketing communications during your self-exclusion
• Self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the agreed period ends

You can also use the Multi-Operator Self-Exclusion Scheme (MOSES), which allows you to self-exclude from multiple UK licensed casinos simultaneously with a single registration.

Deposit Limits

Deposit limits are a practical tool to help you manage your spending. Most UK casinos allow you to set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on the amount of money you can deposit into your account. Once you set a deposit limit, you cannot exceed it during that period, providing an additional layer of financial protection.
