Security checks and payments

  • By using the services, you consent to identity, age, affordability, and fraud checks required by law or regulation.

Young persons and age restrictions

The services are intended for persons aged 18 or over. Accounts for minors are not permitted.

  • Self-exclusion and blocking tools are available in the United Kingdom through GAMSTOP and device-level protections.
