Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Financial Strategy
At ClubPad, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming. Betting and casino games should be enjoyed purely as entertainment. They are games of chance with no guaranteed way to make money. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never use gambling as a way to solve financial problems or earn an income.
Age Verification
Gambling in the United Kingdom is only legal for individuals aged 18 years or older. ClubPad is committed to preventing underage gambling. We verify the age and identity of all users before allowing access to betting services. If you are under 18, you must not use this website.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Constantly thinking about gambling or past bets
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to feel the same excitement
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover lost money
- Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or healthcare providers
- Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other problems
- Lying about the extent of your gambling
- Experiencing relationship, financial, or work problems due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut down or stop
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
