Theoriginals is dedicated to promoting responsible gambling. This page explains the tools, resources and steps available to help you stay in control of your gambling activity.
Theoriginals takes the wellbeing of its visitors seriously. This site provides information and guidance to help you make informed decisions about gambling. Gambling should always be entertaining — if it stops feeling that way, it is important to take action. We encourage all visitors to gamble only with money they can afford to lose, to set time and spending limits before playing, and to take regular breaks. The home page expands this check.
You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble online in Great Britain. It is illegal for anyone under 18 to gamble, and we strongly support measures to prevent underage gambling. If you are concerned that a young person in your household may have access to gambling sites, free parental-control tools such as Gamban, Betfilter, and GamCare's NetNanny guidance can help restrict access to gambling content.
Responsible gambling tools allow you to manage how much time and money you spend. When you register with the operator this site links to, you can typically access options to set deposit limits, session time reminders and reality checks. Review the operator's account settings or contact their support team to find out which controls are available to you. These tools are most effective when put in place before any problems arise.

If you feel you need a break from gambling, self-exclusion is a formal commitment to stop gambling for a set period. GAMSTOP (www.gamstop.co.uk) is the UK's national self-exclusion scheme — registering with GAMSTOP will block you from all UK-licensed gambling sites. You can self-exclude for periods ranging from six months to five years or permanently. Contact the operator directly for information about their own self-exclusion and cooling-off period options.
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Common warning signs include: spending more than you can afford; gambling to recover losses; neglecting work, family or other responsibilities; feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling; and hiding gambling activity from others. If any of these apply to you or someone you know, seeking help early makes a significant difference. You do not need to be in crisis to ask for support.
