Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Source of Income
At Tread Mark, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming. Online casinos should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only—never as a way to make money or solve financial problems. Remember: the house always has a mathematical advantage. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years old (or the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction) to use any online casino. We strictly prohibit access to anyone under the legal gambling age in Great Britain. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register or gamble.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following behaviours in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek support:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling with increasing amounts to get the same excitement
- Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Neglecting work, education, family, or social activities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to finance gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or difficult emotions
- Experiencing relationship conflict because of gambling habits
Self-Help Tools & Player Protections
Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to spend within a day, week, or month
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a session or time period
- Reality Checks: Enable reminders that pop up during play to remind you how long you've been gambling
- Session Timers: Set automatic logout times to limit your playing duration
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently ban yourself from accessing casino accounts
- Cooling-Off Periods: Request a brief pause before reactivating your account
Always use these tools proactively. They're designed to help you stay in control.
