Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Player Safety

At Clubhousecreative, we believe that eSports betting should always be an enjoyable and entertaining experience. Founded by Joanna Owens, our platform is built on the principle that player welfare comes before everything else. We understand that for some people, gambling can stop being fun and start causing real harm. This page exists because we genuinely care about every person who visits clubhousecreative.co.uk, and we want to make sure you have the knowledge and tools to stay in control.

Responsible gaming is not just a legal checkbox for us. It is a core part of who we are. Whether you are placing your first eSports bet or you have been wagering for years, the information on this page is here to support you.

The Golden Rule: Gambling Is Entertainment, Not Income

eSports betting can add excitement to watching your favourite tournaments and matches. However, it is vital to remember that betting should never be seen as a way to make money or solve financial problems. Always bet only what you can comfortably afford to lose, and never chase losses. If the fun disappears, it is time to stop.

Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to recognise in yourself. The following warning signs may indicate that gambling is becoming harmful:

If any of these signs feel familiar, please reach out to one of the organisations listed further down this page. You are not alone, and help is available right now.

Self-Assessment Checklist

Ask yourself the following questions honestly. If you answer yes to two or more, we strongly encourage you to seek support:

Tools to Help You Stay in Control

Deposit Limits

All UK-licensed betting sites are required to offer deposit limit tools. You can set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much money you deposit into your betting account. Once set, limits can only be reduced immediately but increases require a mandatory waiting period. Use this tool proactively, before you feel you need it.

Reality Checks

Reality check notifications remind you how long you have been logged in and how much you have wagered during a session. These prompts are a simple but effective way to stay aware of your activity and make conscious decisions about whether to continue.

Cooling-Off Periods

If you feel your betting is becoming too frequent, a cooling-off period allows you to temporarily pause your account for a set number of days or weeks. This gives you space to reflect without permanently closing your account.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is a formal process that prevents you from accessing gambling accounts for a minimum period. In Great Britain, GamStop (gamstop.co.uk) is the national self-exclusion scheme. Registering with GamStop will block you from all UK-licensed gambling sites simultaneously. It is free, confidential, and one of the most effective steps you can take if gambling is causing harm.

Support Organisations and Crisis Helplines

If you or someone you know needs help with gambling-related issues, please contact one of the following trusted organisations immediately. All services are free and confidential:

Strict 18+ Policy

Clubhousecreative operates a strict 18+ only policy. Gambling is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 in Great Britain, and we take this seriously. All operators we recommend must hold a valid UK Gambling Commission licence and must use robust age verification processes. If you are aware of a minor attempting to access gambling sites, please report it immediately to the UK Gambling Commission at gamblingcommission.gov.uk.
