Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At BullsHead Fishbourne, we believe that betting and gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. It should only ever be undertaken with money you can afford to lose.
If you choose to gamble, please do so responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
In the United Kingdom, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in gambling activities, including betting with BetMGM and affiliated betting sites.
We take age verification seriously and all players must confirm they meet the legal age requirement before creating an account or placing any bets.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone else, it may indicate a problem with gambling:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Continuing to gamble despite losses
- Chasing losses by gambling more to win money back
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount spent
- Neglecting work, family, or social activities due to gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or relieve stress
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Borrowing money to fund gambling
- Experiencing relationship or financial difficulties due to gambling
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
If you experience any of these signs, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most reputable betting platforms, including BetMGM affiliate sites, offer the following tools to help you gamble responsibly:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you can lose in a given timeframe
- Betting Limits: Cap the stake size on individual bets
- Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications during gaming sessions reminding you how long you've been playing

We strongly encourage you to use these tools as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
