Responsible Play

Keeping gambling safe and enjoyable

Our Commitment

At QuickTopFive.com, we believe that gambling should always be a form of entertainment, never a source of financial distress. We are committed to promoting responsible gambling and providing resources to help you stay in control.

We only feature casinos licensed by the UK Gambling Commission, which requires operators to implement robust responsible gambling measures and player protection tools.

Tips for Responsible Gambling

Following these guidelines can help ensure your gambling remains enjoyable:

  • Set a Budget: Decide how much you can afford to lose before you start playing and stick to it. Never chase losses
  • Set Time Limits: Decide in advance how long you will play and take regular breaks
  • Never Borrow to Gamble: Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never use credit cards or borrow money to fund gambling
  • Do Not Gamble When Emotional: Avoid gambling when you are upset, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Balance Gambling with Other Activities: Gambling should not be your only form of entertainment or escape
  • Understand the Odds: Remember that the house always has an edge. Winning is not guaranteed
  • Take Breaks: Step away regularly to maintain perspective and avoid fatigue

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

It is important to recognise when gambling stops being fun. Warning signs that gambling may be becoming a problem include:

  • Spending more money or time on gambling than you can afford
  • Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut down on gambling
  • Chasing losses by gambling more to try to win back money
  • Lying to family members or others about how much you gamble
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
  • Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities due to gambling
  • Feeling anxious, depressed, or stressed because of gambling
  • Gambling to escape problems or relieve negative feelings

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

Self-Exclusion Tools

UK licensed casinos offer various tools to help you control your gambling:

  • Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit
  • Loss Limits: Limit the amount you can lose within a specified period
  • Session Time Limits: Set reminders or automatic logouts after a certain period of play
  • Reality Checks: Receive periodic notifications showing how long you have been playing and your net position
  • Cool-Off Periods: Take a short break from gambling, typically ranging from 24 hours to 6 weeks
  • Self-Exclusion: Exclude yourself from a casino for a longer period, usually 6 months or more

Protecting Minors

Gambling is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 in the United Kingdom. We strongly encourage parents and guardians to take steps to prevent minors from accessing gambling websites:

  • Use parental control software to block access to gambling sites
  • Do not leave gambling accounts logged in on shared devices
  • Do not share passwords or payment details with minors
  • Talk openly with children about the risks of gambling

Helpful resources for parental controls include Net Nanny, Qustodio, and built-in parental controls in your operating system or internet service provider.
