Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Barrel Boulangerie, we believe that casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Casino games are games of chance, and the house always has a mathematical edge. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, and never view gambling as a way to earn money or solve financial problems.
Please gamble responsibly and within your means. If you find yourself struggling to control your gambling, help is available.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble in the United Kingdom. Some individuals may be subject to higher age requirements based on local legislation. By accessing casino services through our website, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction.
We do not permit gambling by minors under any circumstances. If you are under 18, please do not use our services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following warning signs in your behaviour, you may have a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling with money set aside for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Hiding your gambling from family, friends, or colleagues
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Gambling for longer periods than intended
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Lying about the extent of your gambling
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or accumulating debt to fund gambling
- Attempting to cut back or quit gambling unsuccessfully
If any of these apply to you, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools and Responsible Gaming Features
Most reputable casinos offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you are willing to lose during a gaming session
- Bet Limits: Cap the maximum stake you can place on individual bets
- Time-Out / Reality Checks: Set reminders to take breaks during gaming sessions
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from accessing casino services for a specified period

We encourage you to use these tools proactively. Most casinos make these features easily accessible through your account settings.
