Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At Camphill Bowls, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble within their means and to seek help if gambling becomes a concern.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to participate in online gaming. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age. If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not use our services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognize any of the following warning signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help:
- Spending more money or time gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount gambled
- Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Borrowing money or getting into debt to fund gambling
- Continued gambling despite negative consequences
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
Self-Help Tools
We provide a range of tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose during a gaming session
- Session Time Limits: Restrict the amount of time you spend gambling in one sitting
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you have been playing and how much you have spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gaming services
If you wish to set any of these limits or self-exclude, please contact our support team or access these options in your account settings.
