Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At Bristol Summits, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to gamble, please do so within your means and in a way that does not negatively impact your life or the lives of those around you.

Age Verification

Online gambling in the UK is strictly regulated. You must be 18 years of age or older to participate in any form of gambling on our site. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register or gamble.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be aware of these warning signs:

• Gambling more frequently or for longer periods than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount spent
• Neglecting family, friends, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Experiencing anxiety, irritability, or mood changes related to gambling
• Using gambling as an escape from problems or negative emotions
• Borrowing money or using savings to fund gambling
• Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or control gambling
• Experiencing financial difficulties or debt due to gambling

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available.

Self-Help Tools

Most online casinos, including those accessible via Bristol Summits, offer tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a limit on how much you can lose during a session or time period
• Session Time Limits: Set reminders or automatic log-outs to limit your playing time
• Reality Checks: Enable pop-up notifications during play to remind you of time and money spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account or multiple sites via GamStop
• Account Pause: Take a break from gambling for a set period

We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain a healthy relationship with gambling.
