Responsible Gambling

Last updated: 29 August 2025

thecountygroundevents.co.uk supports safe, informed, and balanced play. This page explains practical steps that help you stay in control, where to find support, and how we handle related questions.

Our approach

  • Entertainment first, never a way to make money
  • Clear information about features that may affect risk
  • Prominent signposting to independent help resources
  • No pressure tactics or misleading claims

Keep play in control

  • Set a budget before you start and stick to it
  • Decide on a time limit and take regular breaks
  • Do not chase losses or increase stakes to recover them
  • Play only when you are calm and clear headed
  • Stop if play affects your work, studies, finances, or relationships

Helpful tools you can use with operators

Availability and names vary by provider. Look for:

  • Deposit limits and loss limits
  • Time limits and reality checks that show session length
  • Cooling off or time out options for short breaks
  • Self exclusion for longer breaks from all accounts with a provider
  • Transaction and activity history to review your behaviour
  • Blocking software for devices and networks

Signs you may need support

  • Spending more than you planned or hiding the extent of play
  • Using play to escape stress or difficult feelings
  • Difficulty stopping even after setting limits
  • Borrowing money or selling items to fund play
  • Conflicts with family or friends about gambling

If any of these feel familiar, consider a break and reach out to an independent service.
