Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At Faye and Lou, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While we provide access to non-GamStop betting sites, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices among all our visitors.

Please gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

Gambling is only legal for individuals aged 18 years and over in Great Britain. If you are under the legal age, you must not gamble. By accessing betting sites through our affiliate links, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Recognise these warning signs that your gambling may be becoming problematic:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, bills, food)
• Hiding or lying about the extent of your gambling
• Neglecting family, friends, work, or other responsibilities
• Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
• Feeling the need to gamble with increasing amounts for the same excitement
• Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
• Borrowing money to fund gambling
• Experiencing financial difficulties or debt

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Controls

Most reputable betting operators offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period
• Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're willing to lose in a given timeframe
• Time Limits: Set reminders or automatic session time-outs
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic notifications about how long and how much you've been gambling
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from betting platforms

We recommend using these tools proactively to maintain healthy gambling habits.
