Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling

At tigerlive.co.uk, we believe that gambling should always be a form of entertainment — never a way to earn money, solve financial problems, or escape from personal difficulties. While we review and recommend the best crypto casinos in the UK, our first priority is the safety and wellbeing of our readers.

Please remember: the odds are always in favour of the house over the long term. Gambling outcomes are based on chance, and losses are a normal and expected part of play. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, and never view gambling as a source of income or an investment strategy — this applies equally to cryptocurrency gambling, where market volatility can add additional financial risk.

Age Verification — 18+ Only

Gambling is strictly for adults. In Great Britain, you must be 18 years of age or older to gamble legally. All licensed operators are required to verify the age and identity of their customers before allowing them to deposit or play.

• It is a criminal offence to gamble under the age of 18 in the UK.
• It is also an offence to allow someone under 18 to use your gambling account.
• If you share your home or devices with minors, consider using parental control software such as NetNanny or Gamban to block access to gambling sites.
• Never leave your gambling accounts logged in where others — especially children — can access them.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, background, or income. Ask yourself the following questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to one or more, it may be time to seek support:

• Do you chase your losses — gambling more to try to win back money you have lost?
• Do you hide your gambling from family, friends, or colleagues, or lie about how much you spend?
• Do you gamble with money meant for essentials such as rent, bills, or food?
• Have you borrowed money, sold possessions, or gone into debt to fund your gambling?
• Do you find it difficult to stop or cut down, even when you want to?
• Do you gamble to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or boredom?
• Has gambling caused arguments or damaged your relationships?
• Do you spend increasing amounts of time or money gambling to get the same excitement?
• Have you neglected work, studies, or family responsibilities because of gambling?
• Do you feel restless, irritable, or low when you try to stop?

Recognising these signs early is the first and most important step towards regaining control.

Self-Help Tools Available to You

Every UK-licensed gambling operator is required to provide tools that help you stay in control. We strongly encourage you to set these up before you start playing:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit daily, weekly, or monthly. Decreases take effect immediately; increases are subject to a cooling-off period.
• Loss Limits: Cap the amount you can lose within a chosen time period.
• Reality Checks: On-screen reminders showing how long you have been playing and how much you have won or lost during your session.
• Session Time Limits: Automatically log you out after a set period of play.
• Time-Outs: Take a short break from gambling — from 24 hours up to several weeks.
• Self-Exclusion: Block yourself from a gambling site for a minimum of six months. For nationwide protection, register with GamStop (see below), which prevents you from using all UK-licensed online gambling sites.

Additional practical steps: keep track of how much time and money you spend, never gamble when upset, tired, or under the influence of alcohol, and balance gambling with other hobbies and activities.
