Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At West Somerset Adventures, we believe that gaming should be enjoyed purely as entertainment. Playing games like Cleopatra slot should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Set a budget you can afford to lose, treat any winnings as a bonus, and always gamble within your means.
Age Verification
By accessing and using our website, you confirm that you are 18 years of age or older, which is the legal age for gambling in Great Britain. If you are under 18, you must not use our services. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Lying to friends or family about your gambling activities or spending
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
- Borrowing money or using savings to gamble
- Gambling for longer periods than intended
- Being unable to stop or reduce gambling despite repeated attempts
- Using gambling to escape problems or relieve stress
- Keeping gambling a secret from loved ones
- Experiencing negative consequences in relationships, finances, or health due to gambling
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Take a break from gambling for a set period, ranging from days to years
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling
We encourage you to use these tools to help manage your gaming activity responsibly.
