Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At Black Country Churchyards, we believe that cryptocurrency casino gaming should only ever be enjoyed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While we aim to provide enjoyable gaming experiences, it's important to understand the risks involved and to gamble responsibly.
Remember: the house always has an edge. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses.
Age Verification
In the United Kingdom, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in gambling activities. By accessing our site and engaging in crypto casino gaming, you confirm that you meet this legal requirement.
If you are under 18, or if you believe someone underage is accessing gambling services, please contact the relevant authorities or support organisations listed below.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately:
- Chasing losses by continuing to gamble to recover money lost
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to reduce or stop gambling
- Lying to friends, family, or healthcare providers about the extent of your gambling
- Hiding gambling activities or concealing evidence of gambling
- Using gambling as a way to escape problems or relieve stress and anxiety
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, education, relationships, or other important responsibilities
- Repeatedly unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Risking or losing significant relationships, jobs, or educational opportunities due to gambling
If any of these apply to you, please reach out for support immediately.
Self-Help Tools and Features
Most reputable crypto casinos and gambling platforms offer tools to help you manage your gaming responsibly. These include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're willing to lose during a session or over a set period
- Session Time Limits: Automatically log you out after a predetermined period to prevent extended play
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic notifications during gameplay reminding you how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling for a set period or indefinitely, preventing access to your account
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely
We encourage you to use these tools to maintain control over your gaming habits.
