Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Betting
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Flanc Electric OK, we believe that betting through the best betting apps should be an enjoyable form of entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, solve financial problems, or supplement income. Always gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In the United Kingdom, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in gambling activities, including using betting apps and placing wagers. It is your responsibility to ensure you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction before engaging in any gambling.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, problem gambling may be a concern:
- Chasing Losses: Continuing to gamble to recover money you've lost
- Hiding Gambling Activity: Concealing the extent or frequency of your gambling from friends or family
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Prioritising gambling over work, school, family, or personal obligations
- Increasing Bets: Needing to bet larger amounts to achieve the same excitement or satisfaction
- Failed Attempts to Stop: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
- Emotional Dependency: Using gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, or other negative emotions
- Borrowing to Gamble: Taking loans, using credit cards, or borrowing money to fund gambling
- Relationship and Financial Problems: Experiencing conflict with loved ones or experiencing financial difficulties due to gambling
- Preoccupation: Constantly thinking about gambling, previous bets, or planning the next gambling session
- Loss of Interest: Losing interest in hobbies and activities you previously enjoyed
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Betting Features
Most reputable betting apps and operators offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a specific period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you're willing to lose within a given timeframe
- Betting Limits: Restrict the amount you can wager per bet
- Reality Checks: Enable notifications that remind you how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
- Time-Out (Cool-Off Period): Temporarily suspend your account for a set period to take a break
- Self-Exclusion: Permanently or temporarily close your account and exclude yourself from betting services
We encourage you to use these tools proactively as part of your responsible gambling strategy.
