Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At angelpolish.co.uk, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Casino games are designed with a house edge, meaning the odds always favour the casino in the long run.
Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose. If you find yourself struggling to control your gambling habits, help is available.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction to use our services. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity at any time.
If you are under the legal age to gamble, please do not attempt to access gambling services. Parents and guardians should be aware of the risks of problem gambling.

- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to win back money
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount spent

- Neglecting family, work, or personal responsibilities due to gambling

- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
- Failed attempts to control or stop gambling
- Friends or family expressing concern about your gambling
If you recognise any of these signs, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools and Controls
Most reputable casinos offer tools to help you stay in control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling sites
