Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Yorkshire Terrier Pub, we believe that casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Online casinos are games of chance, and the odds always favour the house. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years old (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to gamble online in the UK. We take age verification seriously and comply with all UK Gambling Commission regulations. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to access casino games.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to win back money
- Hiding your gambling activities or lying about how much you gamble
- Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, bills, food)
- Neglecting family, work, or hobbies due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, stressed, or irritable when not gambling
- Needing to gamble with larger amounts to feel the same excitement
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Borrowing money to fund gambling

Self-Help Tools & Features
Responsible gaming operators provide tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific period (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given timeframe
- Reality Checks: Regular pop-up reminders showing how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Time-Out: Take a break from gambling for a set period without closing your account
