Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At Cafe Rosa, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While online gaming can be fun and exciting, it's important to gamble responsibly and within your means. Please remember that the house always has an edge, and you should only ever wager money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
All players must be 18 years of age or older to use any non-Gamstop casino featured on caferosa.co.uk. It is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to gamble in the United Kingdom. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and reserve the right to verify your age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to win money back
- Hiding your gambling activities or lying about how much you gamble
- Neglecting work, family, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble
- Using gambling as an escape from problems or negative emotions
- Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- Jeopardizing relationships, education, or career opportunities
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given period
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently ban yourself from accessing a casino account
- Take a Break: Request a cooling-off period during which you cannot access your account
We recommend speaking with your chosen casino's customer support team to activate these features on your account.
