At Games Wales (gameswales.org), we are fundamentally committed to promoting responsible gambling and ensuring that our users are equipped with the information necessary to make informed, safe decisions. While we function as an informational and affiliate platform and do not operate as a gambling provider, we take our ethical obligations seriously and strictly advocate for the protection of individuals from gambling-related harm.

1. Acknowledgment of Risk

Gambling inherently involves a degree of financial risk and possesses the potential to become addictive. It must always be viewed strictly as a form of entertainment, not as a reliable source of income or a method for resolving financial difficulties. We strongly advise all users to gamble within their financial means and to establish rigid limits on both the time and capital they allocate to gambling activities.

2. Protection of Minors

Access to gambling products and services in the United Kingdom is strictly restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. Games Wales does not intentionally target, market to, or solicit information from minors. If you share your computer or mobile device with individuals under the legal gambling age, we mandate the use of parental control software, such as Net Nanny or CyberPatrol, to restrict access to gambling-related websites and applications.

3. Recognising Problem Gambling

It is imperative to critically monitor your gambling habits. You may be at risk of developing a gambling problem if you exhibit any of the following behaviours:

4. Operator Tools and Self-Exclusion

If you determine that your gambling is becoming unmanageable, we strongly urge you to take immediate preventative action. All licensed gambling operators within the UK are legally required by the Gambling Commission to provide account management tools, which include:

Furthermore, we categorically recommend registering with GAMSTOP (gamstop.co.uk), a free national service that allows users to seamlessly self-exclude from all licensed online gambling companies operating within the United Kingdom.
