At Dorothy Biddle, we are committed to promoting safe and responsible gaming practices. Whether you're a casual player or a regular visitor, we encourage all players to gamble within their means and to seek help if gambling becomes a problem.
Responsible gaming means understanding the risks associated with gambling and making informed decisions about how much time and money you spend. It's about treating gambling as entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems. Responsible gaming requires self-awareness, discipline, and knowing when to take a break.
At Dorothy Biddle, we support players by providing tools, resources, and information to help you maintain control and enjoy gaming safely.
It's important to recognize the early warning signs of problem gambling. If you experience any of the following, consider reaching out for support:
If you recognise any of these warning signs in yourself or someone else, help is available.
Many casinos offer self-exclusion programs that allow you to voluntarily ban yourself from gambling. This is a powerful tool that can help you take control if you're struggling with problem gambling.
Self-exclusion typically prevents you from accessing casino platforms, receiving promotional materials, and opening new accounts. Periods can range from 24 hours to permanent exclusion, depending on the operator and your needs.
If you choose to self-exclude, we recommend speaking with customer support to initiate the process and understanding the terms of your exclusion.
Setting deposit limits is one of the most effective ways to control your spending. Many online casinos allow you to set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much money you can deposit into your account.
Once a limit is set, you cannot exceed it during the specified period. This tool helps ensure you only gamble with money you can afford to lose and prevents impulsive, excessive spending.
We encourage all players to set realistic deposit limits before starting their gaming session.

While we provide tools and resources, ultimately your gambling behaviour is your responsibility. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, set time and money limits, and don't chase losses. Gambling should be fun—if it stops being fun, it's time to stop.
