Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment

At Payvat, we take responsible gambling seriously. While we do not operate any gambling services ourselves, we recognise that the information we provide may lead users to engage with gambling operators. We are therefore committed to promoting responsible gambling practices, providing clear information about the risks involved, and directing anyone who needs help to the appropriate support services.

Age Verification — 18+

Gambling in the United Kingdom is restricted to individuals aged 18 and over. It is a criminal offence to gamble under the age of 18, and all UKGC-licensed operators are required to verify the age and identity of their customers before allowing them to gamble. Payvat supports strict age verification measures and requires all visitors to confirm their age before accessing our content. If you are under 18, you must leave this website immediately.

Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of background or financial status. It is important to recognise the signs early. You may have a gambling problem if:

• You spend more money or time gambling than you can afford.
• You find it difficult to stop gambling once you start.
• You gamble to escape problems or relieve feelings of anxiety or depression.
• You lie to family or friends about how much you gamble.
• You borrow money or sell possessions to fund gambling.
• You feel restless or irritable when trying to reduce or stop gambling.
• You chase losses by continuing to gamble after losing money.
• Gambling is causing conflict in your relationships or affecting your work.

If you recognise any of these behaviours in yourself or someone you know, we strongly encourage you to seek help using the resources listed below.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is a powerful tool that allows you to restrict your access to gambling services. In the United Kingdom, GamStop provides a free national self-exclusion scheme. By registering with GamStop, you can exclude yourself from all UKGC-licensed online gambling operators for a period of 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years. During this period, operators are required to close your accounts and refrain from sending you marketing materials.

Additionally, most individual operators offer their own self-exclusion tools, deposit limits, loss limits, session time reminders, and cooling-off periods. We encourage you to make use of these tools proactively.
