Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At Clapton Laundry, we're committed to promoting safe and responsible betting. Gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all our users to gamble within their means and to seek support if they feel their gambling is becoming problematic.
Age Verification
All users must be at least 18 years old or the legal age for gambling in their jurisdiction to access betting apps and services. We take age verification seriously and comply with all UK Gambling Commission regulations. If you are under the legal age, please do not use these services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs, it may be time to seek help:
- Spending more money or time gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding your gambling activities from family or friends
- Neglecting work, school, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or gambling with money meant for essentials
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Lying about the extent of your gambling activities
- Experiencing financial difficulties due to gambling
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable betting apps offer built-in responsible gaming tools. We recommend using these features:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified period
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're willing to lose
- Time Limits: Set restrictions on how long you can play in a session
- Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications reminding you how long you've been gambling
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling platforms
Always take advantage of these tools and adjust settings to match your personal limits.
