Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At Global Markets Training, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Betting should be enjoyable, affordable, and within your means. If you find yourself gambling to make money or recover losses, it may be time to seek support.

Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction) to access and use betting sites. We are committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are under 18, please do not proceed with registration or place any bets.

Operators are required by UK law to verify your age before allowing you to gamble.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do you recognise any of these signs in your own behaviour? If so, it may indicate problem gambling:

• Constantly chasing losses by betting more to recover what you've lost
• Spending more time or money gambling than intended
• Hiding your gambling activity from friends, family, or partner
• Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other emotional difficulties
• Neglecting work, study, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
• Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
• Lying about the extent of your gambling
• Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop gambling
• Feeling a need to bet with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement

If you recognise several of these signs, please reach out for help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Controls

Most reputable betting operators offer responsible gaming tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose over a period of time
• Bet Limits: Restrict the size of individual bets you can place
• Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders of how long you've been gambling
• Time-Out/Cool-Off Periods: Temporarily suspend your account for a set period without permanently closing it
• Self-Exclusion: Permanently or temporarily close your account and exclude yourself from all licensed betting sites

If your operator doesn't provide these tools, consider switching to one that does.
