Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At Crafted Restaurant and Bar, we want to remind you that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Betting on sports through Betfair should be enjoyable and within your means. Always gamble responsibly and within your budget.

Age Verification

In the United Kingdom, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in sports betting. We take age verification seriously and comply with all UK Gambling Commission regulations. If you are under 18, please do not use Betfair or any other gambling services.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Please be aware of these warning signs that may indicate problem gambling:

• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by betting more to recover money you've lost
• Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
• Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or other problems
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Neglecting work, school, or personal relationships due to gambling
• Feeling irritable or anxious when trying to reduce gambling
• Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
• Using gambling as your primary source of entertainment

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself, please reach out for support immediately.

Self-Help Tools and Controls

Betfair and other responsible operators offer tools to help you maintain control:

• 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 over a set period
• Reality Checks: Enable reminders during gambling sessions to help you track time spent
• Time-Outs: Take a break from gambling for a set period (days or weeks)
• Self-Exclusion: Exclude yourself from gambling services for a longer period (months or years)

We encourage you to use these tools if you feel your gambling may be getting out of control.
