Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At Scandiland Film, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We're committed to promoting safe and responsible gaming practices among all our users.
Remember: Betting should only ever be with money you can afford to lose, and it should remain fun.
Age Verification
In the United Kingdom, you must be at least 18 years of age to gamble legally. This is a legal requirement that all licensed operators must enforce.
It is your responsibility to ensure you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction before placing any bets. Operators may request proof of identity and age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do you recognise any of these warning signs in your own behaviour?
- Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
- Spending more time and money gambling than intended
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount spent
- Neglecting work, family, or social relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling
- Experiencing feelings of desperation or hopelessness linked to gambling
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
If you recognise any of these signs, it's important to seek help as soon as possible.
Self-Help Tools
Most licensed UK bookmakers provide tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a day, week, or month
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're willing to lose within a specific timeframe
- Reality Checks: Regular reminders during gambling sessions about time spent and money wagered
- Betting Limits: Restrict the maximum stake on individual bets
- Time-Out: Take a temporary break from gambling (days or weeks)
- Self-Exclusion: Permanently close your account if you need to stop gambling
We encourage you to use these tools proactively as part of your responsible gambling approach.
