Responsible Gaming

At The Wishing Well, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. We believe that gambling should be enjoyable entertainment, and we encourage all our players to gamble responsibly within their means.

What is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means understanding the risks associated with gambling and making informed decisions about your play. It involves:

Gambling should never interfere with your personal relationships, work, education, or financial responsibilities.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you or someone you know exhibits any of the following signs, it may indicate a problem with gambling:

If you recognise these signs in yourself or others, help is available.

Self-Exclusion Tools

The Wishing Well offers several tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:

Deposit Limits

You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on your account. Once a limit is reached, you will be unable to deposit additional funds during that period. This is one of the most effective ways to manage your spending.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a break from gambling, you can request self-exclusion from your account. During a self-exclusion period (which can range from 24 hours to several years), you will be unable to access your account or place any bets. Self-exclusion is a powerful tool for regaining control.

Session Time Limits

Set time limits on your gaming sessions to ensure you take regular breaks and do not spend excessive time gambling.

To access these tools, log into your account and visit the Responsible Gaming settings page. Our customer support team can also assist you.
