Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Twisted Theatre, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed purely as entertainment. It should never be viewed as a way to earn money, solve financial problems, or supplement your income. If you find yourself relying on gambling for financial gain, it may be time to seek support.
We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting our players in maintaining a healthy relationship with online casinos.
Age Verification
Online gambling in the United Kingdom is strictly regulated and only available to persons aged 18 years and over (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction). By accessing our site, you confirm that you are of legal age to gamble in your country of residence.
We take age verification seriously and employ strict measures to prevent underage gambling. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to access gambling services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognize any of the following signs in your own behaviour, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing Losses: Attempting to recover lost money by gambling more
- Hiding Gambling Activity: Concealing the extent of your gambling from family or friends
- Loss of Control: Inability to stick to predetermined time or money limits
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Prioritising gambling over work, family, or personal obligations
- Increasing Stakes: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Mood Changes: Experiencing anxiety, irritability, or depression when unable to gamble
- Financial Difficulties: Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
- Preoccupation: Constantly thinking about gambling or past gambling sessions
- Escapism: Using gambling to escape from stress, worry, or emotional problems
If you identify with any of these warning signs, please reach out for support immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Player Protection Features
Most reputable online casinos, including our partners, offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set maximum amounts you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a cap on the amount you are willing to lose within a set period
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders during your gaming session about how long you have been playing and how much you have spent
- Session Time Limits: Automatically end your session after a predetermined period of time
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling for a set period (ranging from days to years)
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely
We encourage all players to use these tools proactively, regardless of whether they believe they have a problem.
