Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At Caldicott Tyres, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Betting should be enjoyed as entertainment only – never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or over to participate in betting activities in the United Kingdom. It is illegal for anyone under 18 to gamble or access betting services. If you are under 18, please do not proceed. If you have concerns about a young person's gambling, contact GamCare immediately.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing Losses: Attempting to recover lost money by betting more
- Hiding Gambling: Concealing betting activity from family or friends
- Loss of Control: Inability to stick to predetermined betting limits
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Prioritising gambling over work, family, or personal obligations
- Borrowing Money: Taking loans or using credit to fund gambling
- Mood Changes: Irritability, anxiety, or depression related to gambling
- Escalating Bets: Needing to bet larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeated unsuccessful efforts to reduce or stop gambling
- Physical Symptoms: Sleep disturbances, headaches, or stress-related issues
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable betting operators, including Betway, offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you can lose in a given timeframe
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been gambling and how much you've wagered
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from betting platforms
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely
We encourage you to use these tools proactively. Contact Betway's customer support for assistance in setting these restrictions.
