Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At Planet Ivy, we believe gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Betting sites offer games of chance where the odds always favour the house in the long term. Please only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses.
Age Verification
In the United Kingdom, you must be 18 years of age or older to use any betting services featured on this website. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and conduct age verification checks on all accounts. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register or place bets.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following behaviours in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
- Repeatedly trying to cut back or stop gambling without success
- Spending more time gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by betting more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Using gambling to escape problems or regulate mood
- Borrowing money to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, education, or relationships due to gambling
- Experiencing anxiety or irritability when unable to gamble
- Lying about the extent of gambling involvement
If you experience any of these signs, help is available.
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable betting operators offer tools to help you gamble responsibly:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a limit on the maximum amount you are willing to lose
- Bet Limits: Control the maximum stake per bet
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders of how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
- Time-Out: Take a break from gambling for a set period (temporary suspension of your account)
- Self-Exclusion: Permanently or temporarily close your account and exclude yourself from betting sites
We encourage you to use these tools as part of your responsible gambling strategy. Check your chosen betting site's responsible gaming page for specific features they offer.
