Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Atticus NFT, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the cinema or playing sports. It should never be considered as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Games like Blood Suckers are designed with a house edge, meaning the odds always favour the casino in the long run. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to access and use casino services. We take age verification seriously and conduct checks to ensure compliance with UK gambling regulations. If you are under the legal age, please do not attempt to gamble.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in your own behaviour, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Neglecting work, education, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
If you recognise these warning signs, please reach out for help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Most reputable casinos offer player protection tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount of money you're prepared to lose during a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Enable reminders that pop up at regular intervals to inform you how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Time Limits: Set a maximum duration for your gaming sessions
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from the casino to prevent access to your account
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely
Use these tools proactively to stay in control of your gambling.
