Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At activegroup.biz, we believe that betting apps and casino games should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please only bet what you can afford to lose and play within your means.
Age Verification
In the United Kingdom, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in gambling activities. All users must verify their age before accessing betting apps or placing wagers. If you are under 18, please do not use gambling services. If you are aware of underage gambling, please report it to the relevant authorities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Please review the following checklist. If you recognise any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know, seek help immediately:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount of time or money spent
- Gambling with money meant for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Neglecting work, school, family, or social relationships due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
- Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Unsuccessful attempts to control or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or relieve stress
- Borrowing money or going into debt to finance gambling
- Physical symptoms such as sleep problems or stress-related illness
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Responsible betting apps provide tools to help you maintain control of your gambling. These features include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the maximum amount you are willing to lose over a set timeframe
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you have been gambling and how much you have wagered
- Time-Out/Cooling-Off Periods: Temporarily suspend your account for a period you choose to take a break from gambling

We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gambling habits.
