Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At 21 Bennet's Hill, we believe that darts betting should be enjoyable entertainment only. Betting is never a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only bet what you can afford to lose, and always keep gambling in perspective as a form of fun, not income.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older to use any darts betting site in the United Kingdom. We are committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are under 18, please do not use our recommended betting operators.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses by betting more money to recover what you've lost
• Hiding your gambling activity or lying about how much you bet
• Spending more time and money on betting than intended
• Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Borrowing money to fund gambling activity
• Experiencing relationship problems because of gambling
• Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or depression
• Being unable to cut down or stop gambling despite trying
• Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement

If any of these resonate with you, please seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Controls

Responsible betting operators provide tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Restrict the amount you're willing to lose during a session
• Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders during your betting session about how long you've been playing
• Time-Out/Cool-Off Period: Take a temporary break from betting for days, weeks, or months
• Self-Exclusion: Permanently close your account if you need to stop gambling

Always use these tools proactively before problems develop.
