Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At teaandtenacity.co.uk, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as entertainment, similar to going to the cinema or enjoying a hobby. It should never be considered a way to earn money or solve financial problems.

When you play at Qbet or any other casino, please only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Set a budget for entertainment purposes and stick to it.

Age Verification

Gambling is only for adults. In the UK, you must be at least 18 years old to gamble legally. Qbet and all reputable operators verify your age during registration.

If you are under 18, please do not attempt to access gambling services.

Parents and guardians: if you have concerns about a young person's gambling activity, please contact the support organisations listed below.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be honest with yourself and watch for these warning signs:

• Thinking about gambling constantly or planning your next gambling session
• Needing to gamble with larger amounts to get the same excitement
• Feeling restless or irritable when you try to cut down or stop
• Chasing losses by gambling more to try to win back money you've lost
• Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or others
• Gambling to escape problems, anxiety, depression, or difficult feelings
• Lying about how much time or money you spend gambling
• Borrowing money to gamble or gambling with money meant for bills and essentials
• Neglecting work, school, relationships, or hobbies because of gambling
• Continuing to gamble even though it's causing financial or personal harm

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