Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At Barclay Livestock, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not 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

All users must be at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in their jurisdiction to access betting services on our website. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under the legal age, please do not attempt to register or place bets.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following warning signs in your behaviour, please consider seeking help:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount of time or money spent
• Gambling to escape negative emotions or stress
• Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling
• Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
• Borrowing money or taking on debt to finance gambling
• Losing control over gambling behaviour despite wanting to stop
• Friends or family expressing concern about your gambling
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement

Self-Help Tools

Many betting platforms offer tools to help you maintain control. Consider using these features:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit over a specific period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Restrict the amount of money you're prepared to lose
• Reality Checks: Enable reminders during gaming sessions to help you stay aware of time and money spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently ban yourself from gambling accounts for a set period
• Cooling-Off Period: Take a break from gambling by setting a time-out on your account
• Account Closure: Permanently close your betting account if needed

We encourage you to proactively use these tools as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
