Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At touch3.co.uk, we believe that poker and casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. Play responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

All players must be at least 18 years of age or the legal age for gambling in their jurisdiction. UK law requires players to be 18 or older to participate in casino gaming and poker. By using this website, you confirm that you meet these age requirements.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone else, it may indicate problem gambling:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount spent
• Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, food, bills)
• Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
• Neglecting work, studies, family, or personal relationships
• Increasing the amount or frequency of gambling over time
• Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Borrowing money to finance gambling
• Experiencing mood swings related to gambling outcomes
• Using gambling to escape problems or cope with stress

Self-Help Tools & Safer Gambling Features

Most reputable poker and casino sites offer tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a day, week, or month
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose in a set period
• Stake Limits: Restrict the maximum bet size per hand or game
• Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders of how long you've been playing
• Session Timers: Set automatic reminders to take breaks
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling sites
• Account Closure: Close your account if you need to stop completely

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