Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Betting
At Caldicott Tyres, we're committed to promoting responsible gambling practices. Betting on horse racing should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to place bets on horse racing. It is illegal for anyone under 18 to gamble in the United Kingdom. If you are under 18, please do not use any betting services. Operators have a legal responsibility to verify your age before accepting wagers.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses by betting more money to recover what you've lost
- Hiding your gambling activities or lying about the amount you're wagering
- Spending more time or money on betting than intended
- Neglecting family, work, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious or irritable when trying to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or emotional problems
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Friends or family expressing concern about your gambling habits
- Continuing to gamble despite negative financial or personal consequences
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, please seek help immediately.
Tools to Help You Stay in Control
Reputable betting operators provide tools to help you manage your gambling responsibly:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose before stopping
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders during betting sessions about how much time and money you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from betting operators
- Take a Break: Many operators allow you to pause your account for a cooling-off period
Always use these tools proactively to maintain control over your betting activities.
